Alzheimer Disease:
The Patient's Perspective
Order# RP103

An extraordinary and rare glimpse into a world, where, for brief moments, Shana realizes the devastation of her illness. She remembers her world as it was and acknowledges the perils she now faces. She vividly describes her confusion; her frustration at the loss of independence; and her growing fears of forgetfulness. Commentary by Dr. Rabins, staff working on an Alzheimer unit and her husband who reminds us, even with the disease, she’s still Shana. An excellent tool to develop empathy and care strategies.
