Dear people,
I have just caught up with all your posts about doctors and ageing, and as I am 72 and suffer from a terminal illness I can identify with all your comments. In medicine there is a specialized field called Gerontology. Gerontoligists are doctors who specialize in treating older patients, and are aware of the process of ageing and experienced in treating the multiple issues and illnesses that we come across in old age. I don't know whether you have ready access to doctors, but I would recommend you ask your GP to refer you to a gerontologist who will be sensitive to your needs and issues. He/she can be a one-stop go- to doctor to help you navigate your multiple problems. Each specialist only sees the problems in his/her area, but a gerontologist can pull all the threads together and advise you on a plan to deal with all the different issues. What have you got to lose?
Best wishes,
