He struggles to recall info after a few minutes, always does badly on the minimental tests in recalling words. Remembers generalities but not specific detail from day to day experiences. Some things stick, much doesnt. His rehab doctor refused to perform neuropsych analysis so we dont really know specifically his strengths and weaknesses (money issue for refusal I presume). As his initial admission was for cardiac arrest he has never seen a neurologist. The cardiac team refused becuase they did "heart". Would you recommend that as a starting place. He has an OT and Speech Therapist but they focus on strategies rather than treatment. I have been alone with this for months so any input gratefully appreciated.
