This is an excellent teaching video. I would like to ask that you add something, since this is a training video. I had a very very upsetting day at the doctor's office. I was familiar with the mini cog test but I did not know the nurse was going to administer it to me. She gave me the three words. She used football, apple, and telephone. I quickly repeated them back to her. Then she handed me a sheet of paper and said "Draw a clock face". I drew clock face with the numbers in the correct place and paused for her to tell me the time she wanted on the clock. She started saying "No! That is wrong! Think!" This caused me to question the numbers I had written down. The numbers were correct but she never gave me a time. I should have asked for a time but at that point, I was stressed. I later confronted her about the fact that she told the doctor I failed the test, because I didn't draw the hands of the clock. BUT, SHE NEVER GAVE ME A TIME TO DRAW IN THE HANDS OF THE CLOCK! Later when I told her why I had not drawn the hands, she said "On the medicare test, you only say "Draw a clock face" I have downloaded every medicare file with instructions to the test. Everyone of them says to give a time. Please, please, please emphasize that the nurse read the instructions and follow them. If this nurse gave me the test incorrectly, then she is probably giving it to others incorrectly!
A insulting, degrading, and humiliating test. Created to create a revenue stream. About the last thing I want is to have some female younger than the baby daughter giving this testing instrument.
