We really do do a terrible job. I work at a lovely place, but my God is it expensive! How will "the masses" live in a few years?
Aging is so medicalized. And now that I am starting to show some signs of wear and teat it pisses me off that not everything can be fixed. So I think there has to be some acceptance of the process.
My Grandmother goes to Dr. Appointments to alleviate boredom, I swear. She has a million minor complaints that are attended to by a Dr. quick smart, while younger people can't afford to go to a clinic to get treatment for pneumonia. I know a 40 year old who is delaying cancer treatment. She has known since May.
