The present article reflects on central information drawn from four autobiographical texts written by patients in the early stage of dementia, elucidating their needs relating to, first, the medication they rely on and, second, the importance of a healthy doctor-patient relationship. Their comments and feelings are placed in the context of clinical practice and current health care policy pertaining to our dealing with dementia, thus, contributing to ongoing discussions relating to the suitability of current health care structures in view of challenging demographic changes.
