An ocean of time: Alzheimer's : tales of hope and forgetting

Trama

These images of Alzheimer's - forgetting, madness, nursing homes - frighten us, make us want to walk the other way. But geriatric psychiatrist Patrick Mathiasen wants us to know that his images have slowly changed as he's worked around the edges of this "thief of memory". Where he once saw no more than the shell of a body, he now sees lives that have unfolded.
