My mother is 88 years old and has many ailments. I have noticed more and more that many doctors that she visits have no patience for her. She can't hear, she can't walk very well and she can't see that well either and I suppose that is a blessing in a way. She is incredibly sharp and has always been an extremely intelligent woman. And so, if she could pick up on the lack of respect, impatience and disregard of the elderly, she would be heartbroken. She and so many others deserve much better treatment and certainly more respect.
In the not too distant future, I too will be elderly as will all of these doctors whether they like it or not.
