I read a book with a similar premise a long time ago…
(Pause while I run off and do some googling)
Oh, yeah, here we go - Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante. The main character is a woman who was a surgeon but has been diagnosed with dementia. A close friend has been killed and the victims fingers have been removed in exactly the kind of way you might expect a surgeon to do it. Protagonist does not remember committing the murder or why she might have done it.
It’s been so long since I read it that I don’t recall if it was any good or not though, so this isn’t a rec so much as a ‘this is a thing that exists’.
