Carmour 4th Gear March 9, 2013 Share March 9, 2013 Get some advice from bros here. My relative recently suffering from short term memory loss. But not severe. Eg. Go for an event yesterday. Today if you ask him, will say that he never go. But if you describe to him the event and ask him whether did he go, he will then remember that he went. He is the one who realise that he has this problem. And wants to go see doctor voluntarily. This kind of situation should see what doctor? Age is about 55. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP will be able to recommend a doctor. Or go polyclinic. The doctor there will refer to hospital specialists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying_genie 6th Gear March 9, 2013 Share March 9, 2013 See what type of doctor? Errrr, forgot already. (Sorry, couldn't resist the jibe). Anyway, best to see GP first to determine if it's due to psychological or medical reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcscot 5th Gear March 9, 2013 Share March 9, 2013 (edited) Bro ... advice ... Go and get a referral from Polyclinic. Depending on age, if <65 maybe a neurologist / memory clinic but if more than 65 recommend a Geriatrician. Depends on where you live and which hospital. Sorry ... just read that your relative is 55yo. Very young! PM me and we can chat further. Edited March 9, 2013 by Mcscot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
