As someone who’s been in the medical world for 29 years, I’ve seen many facets of the system. From in patient neurology to NICU to ortho and so much more.
I don’t interact much anymore with our conventional system but I recently had to with an ER trip that was like an episode out of MASH.
I’ll spare all the details because everything is fine now but it made me really contemplate my own mortality and the next 30 years of my life as I eventually enter a geriatric era myself.
The experience made me feel sad. Scared. Confused. Angry.
In a society so focused on youth and beauty and aesthetics…this will all fade at some point and then what?
We deserve to do better and care for those who are our elders. Without them we wouldn’t be here.
That’s all.
Just sitting here contemplating the next few decades.
