Part memoir, part love story, part instruction manual, Apple, Penny, Car: A Doctor's Tale is the work of a husband-and-wife team detailing the events in the life of Dan Brown, before, during, and after a diagnosis of younger-onset Alzheimer's disease (YOAD). With unique perspectives from both Dan and his wife, Maureen, a neurology-based occupational therapist, the book includes lessons learned from Dan's twenty-eight-year experience as a doctor, Maureen's hard-won insights as a care partner, and the couple's experience dealing with a life-altering disease. Told with honesty, humor, and humility, the couple offers tips for day-to-day living and ways to maintain independence for as long as possible, striving for the best quality of life for individuals living with YOAD and their care partners.
Apple, Penny, Car is a primer on practicing good medicine, with insights for primary care providers, rehabilitation professionals, and neurologists alike. With a keen focus on the importance of ensuring dignity and maintaining sense of self, this book is a valuable resource for all those impacted by YOAD.
