Reply #13: re: neurological tests on your dad

[Heddi]

Your father may not cooperate but a good gerontological neurologist (neurologist that specializes in old folks) can do a cognitive evaluation on your dad and your dad won't even know it was done.

If you have the ability, check out local universities or med schools (if there are any in your area), they may be able to reccomend someone who can do an effective cog eval better than a run of the mill GP or someone else who doesn't have specialized training in geriatric and or cog impaired patients

good luck
