Dr Daniel Gibbs is one of 50 million people worldwide with an
Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. Unlike most patients with
Alzheimer's, however, Dr Gibbs worked as a neurologist for
twenty-five years, caring for patients with the very disease now
affecting him. Also unusual is that Dr Gibbs had begun to suspect
he had Alzheimer's several years before any official diagnosis
could be made. Forewarned by genetic testing showing he carried
alleles that increased the risk of developing the disease, he
noticed symptoms of mild cognitive impairment long before any tests
would have alerted him. In this highly personal account, Dr Gibbs
documents the effect his diagnosis has had on his life and explains
his advocacy for improving early recognition of Alzheimer's.
Weaving clinical knowledge from decades caring for dementia
patients with his personal experience of the disease, this is an
optimistic tale of one man's journey with early-stage Alzheimer's
disease.
