Well, another Doc. apt. for him and still nothing even though I let the Doc know in advance H is having problems. When we are there H can hold an intelligent conversation but always looks to me when he isn't catching on.

Doc gave him a few words to remember and told him he would ask him what they were at the end of visit. H. got them right and that was that.

@kartwk, that’s just a part of the Mini Mental Evaluation. Do you think that doctor is familiar with doing the exams and diagnosing dementia? Also, there are some conditions in which short term memory loss is not a symptom in the early stages, such as with Frontal lobe. In that, memory loss comes later.
