First let me state that I don't know much about Alzheimer's, only what I've briefly seen on TV, so I don't know the full affects, or how realistic TV is. I saw a scenario on Grey's Anatomy (watch it with the wife, STFU), and I was wondering how people thought about the situation. I'd like to get your opinions.
Situation:
Dr. Webber's wife has Alzheimer's, and it's to the point where she NEEDS to be in a home. He puts her in a home, and within a short time, she seems to forget who he is, and has fallen in love with another man; an Alzheimer's patient as well. Dr. Webber walks in on his wife (she has little idea who he is, not to mention that he's her husband) and her new boyfriend doing it in her room. You can tell it is devastating for him, but almost like he's happy that she's happy.
Cut to the next week's episode, and you find Dr. Webber with another woman, one with whom he has flirted in the past (and she reciprocated), but he would not touch her because he was committed to his wife. Now that he has seen that his wife is with another man, he goes ahead and does the deed with this other woman.
What would you do? How do you feel about it? (Let's forget about the fact that I was watching Grey's Anatomy)
