Abstract
Marty was unusually quiet after we left the neurologist. I wasn’t sure if he understood all the consequences of his diagnosis, dementia of Lewy bodies (DLB). Also I wasn’t sure, if I understood everything either. I had learned about all the dementias in medical school and had regurgitated them all during exams. I hardly ever dealt with these patients in my office or in the hospital. Of course, we had dealt with Marty’s father who in retrospect I realized suffered from DLB as well.
