When this arc began, people kind of jumped on me when I complained about making fun of patients with dementia. Now that it’s gone on for a while, I’m going to do it again. Dementia is the only issue of morbidity that people make fun of, and make jokes. When I’ve lectured about dementia I have said I would rather get cancer than dementia. Dementia is Insidious, it is awful. It is not funny!
