Based on my experiences, people can shut down when they get upset or overwhelmed when in these situations.
It might appear as non-comprehension or not caring, but it could be just shutting down because it's too much in some way.
He is probably scared too, most people with dementia realize it is happening, at least part of the time.
In talking with the doctor, maybe help him make a list before seeing the doctor, and then writing down what the drs says for him. I have a brain injured brother and it really helps having the drs write up everything.
I'm actually going to save him from that stuff and, unless he has to be present, do it by myself. For my situation, it's best. It really is.
Good luck with you Pops, Twinkle.
Thanks you silly. *smiles*
