SKANE, Sweden, June 3 (UPI) -- The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare is asking the country's medical authority to revoke the license of a dentist who has Alzheimer's.

The board wrote in its request to the Medical Responsibility Board that the dentist, who practices out of her home in Skane, often forgets patient information and forgets where she is while at work, Swedish news agency TT reported Tuesday.

The woman, who claims to have stopped treating patients, said the board's request will save her the time of requesting her own license be revoked.
