For someone who has horrible short term memory loss, and want to go see a doctor about it, what kind of doctor should they go check?

I have a horrible short-term memory too! However, I don't sweat it since my long-term memory compensates for the shortcoming. I am looking at my diet first before looking to conventional medicine. For my short-term memory, I am looking at foods rich in niacin and B1 (thiamine). I realized how important my diet was in the maintenance of good health. I am changing my habits and counting every nutrient. So start with the simple things first before considering consultation with the doctor. However, if you must go to the doctor, visit a general practitioner who will then refer you to the appropriate specialist. My general guess would be neurology since memory involves neurotransmitters, especially acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Good luck!

Make sure you get a bunch of Acetone and Chlorine in your diet!
