Testing for dementia

Recently my doctor suggested a dementia test for my dad. Is this worth it?

No it is bullshit, absolute nonsense. Doctors have now added testing for dementia as another way to scam patients. Every single test for dementia only brings more money for the doctor and is of no benefit to the patient. If you were told you were getting forgetful, then ask yourself, so WHAT? There is no treatment for dementia and the diagnosis is not going to change anything. If your dad has dementia, the medications we have at present are far more toxic than the dementia itself. Today, doctors order a variety of brain scans and MRI and then tell you if you have dementia or not. It is all academic and of no clinical relevance. Screening patients for dementia is nothing more than a scam designed to take away your hard earned money. You do not need a test to tell you that you are forgetful. Even if this forgetfulness is diagnosed early, there is no treatment for it. The best treatment for dementia is a loving family and supportive care. I would definitely recommend you change this doctor as he/she is a scam artist. WTF!
