Who Was Alzheimer’s Patient #1 ?
In this video, board-certified internist and geriatrician Dr. Marc from Louisville, Kentucky shares the story of Dr. Alois Alzheimer. Discover how Dr. Alzheimer documented his patient’s condition and identified it as a distinct form of dementia—one that would eventually bear his name.
Dr. Alzheimer first encountered Mrs. Auguste D. in 1901, when she was 51 years old. During their interaction, he asked her to repeat her name. She responded, “I have lost myself.” As Dr. Marc observes, that haunting statement poignantly captures the emotional turmoil and confusion experienced by many living with Alzheimer’s disease.
