A Story to Remember

I once saw a patient who was about to turn 100 years old.

She had pain in her right knee. I asked what she thought was wrong.

What do you expect at my age? she asked, shrugging her shoulders.

How is your left knee? I asked.

Just fine, thank you she answered.

Then why doesn't your left knee hurt? Isn't it the same age as your right knee? I said.

She smiled too and understood what I meant.

Think about it. Often. I do.
It keeps me on the right track when I try to help my older patients.

Don't sell older people short. There is always something that can be done to help an older person lead a happier, more functional life, even in extreme old age.

Best wishes,

Dr. Stall
