Interesting post from the Medical Terrminology page about MULTI-INFART DEMENTIA. This dementia can be caused by multiple small brain strokes. Indeed a scary thing for a human being to suffer.

MANY SICKNESSES start developing in SILENCE. If a person is not taking measures to get medical examinations and blood tests, a surprise could happen. 😪

IF YOU RECEIVE A SUSPICIOUS EMAIL or PHONE CALL, never, NEVER, never respond to it.

If it is regarding a supposedly "purchase" they say you made. CALL YOUR BANK OR CREDIT CARD company and verify your account is okay.
