@141942 Do what I did. I wrote a note in the portal to the doctor. Told her upfront what was going on and my concern over my husband's memory loss. Asked if she could be seen with both of us in the room together so we discussed both of our ailments, that way it looked more like, a health check for both of us. We had mold in our house, and I was able to leverage that so I don't know if you have some "lead in" you can use, which helped me in getting my husband into the primary care. But it helped, and from that visit, that day, the doctor tested him, and suggested he been seen by a neurologist and explained gently, that memory loss at this age isn't uncommon, but she thought more might be going on, and an MRI and Pet scan with a neurologist would help determine if there was something to be concerned about.
