『When a Doctor Cares for His Senile Mother』 by Kimihiro Yoneyama Price: ¥476 《Content Description》 My mother complained of dizziness and underwent tests. The results shocked her doctor son. She was a patient with high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, heart failure, and other conditions that could be called the breeding grounds of terrifying lifestyle diseases. As diagnosed, the mother fell ill and developed dementia. The mother struggles with the fear of losing her personality as her senility progresses, and her family supports her. The author, being a doctor himself, agonizes over the limitations of treatment and searches for better care from the patient's perspective—a record of the struggles and conflicts over the nine years until her passing. 《Table of Contents》 【Chapter 1】 Prelude (The senility that could have been prevented; Loves sweets and salty foods, etc.) 【Chapter 2】 The Onset of Senility (Mother suffering from the early symptoms of senility; Can't cook alone, etc.) 【Chapter 3】 To a Distant World (Sleeping to childhood music; Should she go to the election, etc.) 【Chapter 4】 How Long Can She Walk?
