When trying to describe typical Alzheimer’s symptoms, Tom Bauer, M.D., wants to ensure that his audience doesn’t confuse a little forgetfulness, which is a normal part of life, with the progressive condition.For example, Dr. Bauer commented, it is no big deal if someone misplaces a set of car keys now and then. “But if they forget what the keys are for, that is a problem,” he said.November is National Alzheimer’s Month, and Dr. Bauer is using the opportunity to share a few of the basics about dementia, which can come in several forms. He is a member of the Great Bend Internists team at St. Rose Ambulatory & Surgery Center.“About 60 percent of dementia cases are the result of Alzheimer’s and its relatives,” Dr. Bauer said.
