e-Patients Never Retire<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s kinda by definition, eh? But there’s an uppity Sixties edge to this, and with this too I couldn’t agree more.. Excerpt:<\/p>\n

Older patients have something to tell their health care providers: look at me; listen to me; and speak with me rather than to the person who may have come with me to the visit. Gray hair doesn\u2019t signal senility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What’s your experience been? Have you met up with doctors, nurses and office staff who could use a wake-up smack on the side of the head?<\/p>\n

Of course I recommend first saying\u00a0courteously how you’d like to be treated: be self-aware and be empowered: speak up and say how you’d like to be treated. And physicians and staff, realize: a generation ago 80\u00a0may<\/em> have often seemed\u00a0“feeble,” but not so much, anymore.<\/p>\n

The times, they are a-changin’!<\/p>\n
