The Library Guy: The Problem of Alzheimer’s with Dr. Jason Karlawish

April 17, 2021 by Bill Peak

Share

This month, Bill Peak, the Library Guy,  talks with Dr. Jason Karlawish about his new book, The Problem of Alzheimer’s.

Dr. Karlawish is a Professor of Medicine, Medical Ethics and Health Policy, and Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania and Co-Director of the Penn Memory Center, where he cares for Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers.  He is a leading authority—perhaps the leading authority—on Alzheimer’s.  He is also a terrific writer and storyteller. 

Bill, whose father was a doctor who eventually developed Alzheimer’s, learned a lot from both the book and its author.  

This video is approximately forty minutes in length. For more information about the Talbot County Free Library please go here.

    Mr. Peak,
    Thank you, thank you, thank you! So very glad you had that interview with Dr. J. Karlawish about his book on Alzheimer’s. I lost my husband in 2004 to this disease. There are advances in this aging situation so I am hopeful for others. As one who is in her mid 80’s, I am trying to keep healthy myself and hope for my son in this regard as his grandmother also had Alzheimer’s disease!
