Comedy on rounds

I'm evaluating a pleasant, but very forgetful, older gentleman. His family is in the room.

Doctor Grumpy: "He seems to be very forgetful. Is he demented?"

Wife: "Heavens no!"

Daughter: "Oh my God! Is he ever!"

Son: "Maybe just a little."

Patient: "What's demented?"

    I would have asked you to "define demented".. you know, one person's normal is another's demented...

    Maybe you should give the MMSE to the wife, too.

    My doc says as long as I can remember the word "Alzheimer's" I don't have it. I asked her if it would be cheating to hang up posters with the word spelled phonetically. She said no.

    Actually reminds me of Monty Python: "You are dressed as a witch!" "They dressed me like this!" "Well?" "No!" "Yes!" "A bit!"
