Count me IN! I am a retired RN, most of my career was spent taking care of first the active duty, then I went into the Veterans hospitals and finally as a Director of Nurses for almost 20 years for Long Term/Rehab patients. So I know first hand how the Medical Community refers to us oldsters! First let me say I hate the expression that the physicians, NP etc use as "improving your quality of life." NO, my quality of life was when I didn't have all these ailments......it a "change of life style." No quality to it most of the time. I too. am tired of going to one specialist to the other, (who by the way don't even communicate with each other) that misses and/or overlooks several things. I truly wish that everyone could have an informed advocate that could competently help manage the care the geriatric patients receive. Also I think that there should be a pharmacist in every physicians' office to do a medication review and approval before the Dr can write a new prescription to assure it is not contraindicated based on health status and/or will cause side effects, because if you have a side effect to the new medication....guess what, you get put on another one....and so it goes. Me and my Soap-Box! I'm in my 70's and thank goodness am alert, oriented and have not lost the capability of doing deep-dive research on anything a physician may recommend in caring for me. I am sure there are some physicians out there that a quite happy I'm not their patient. But I am respectful, I just ask alot of questions. Enuff for the nite. God Bless!
