Dr. Grumpy: Okay. Let's start with that memory lose thing. Oh, you probably don't remember when that started either..
You have a tough job doctor.
Me, I just have people ask me if they like things... For instance:
Me: Today's special is sea bass.
Customer: Do I like sea bass?
Me: you need to go see Dr. Grumpy.

Mrs Alzheimer: Hi, have you heard about the new alzheimer's drug? It's supposed to be better than Aricept.
Intern: No, I haven't. What's the name?
Mrs. Alzheimer: I don't remember... :-(
I am reminded of a clinic patient from residency. He no-showed 4 times and when he finally came, I was ready to scold him for the repeated no-shows. He stopped me: "But look at the reason I'm here."
Of course, his chief complaint was forgetfulness.
I think this is where I admit that once during a very bad migraine (I get really bad auras too) I called my neurologist because toradol wasn't workng (I'd just started taking it)...except I couldn't remember the name of the med to save me life. You know...that drug that you just gave me that starts with a T...I think...maybe it will come to me in a minute...no...wait a minute...uh...yeah well I'm sure it's on my chart. Yeah...oh well...I still can't remember it. Sigh. Sorry about that. Good bye.
I'm pretty sure I probably sounded crazy, but I sometimes can't remember names when I have an aura. So I actually have sympathy for your patient.

I saw this one coming and still splurted coffee. Not so funny for the patient, mind.
goldmine!

I like this. One question and you've gotten to both primary complaints! Good on the patient for remembering to tell you about the forgetfulness although I note that he only does so because the referring doc wanted him to mention it...
