On Becoming a Patient Patient

Picture
There's much to be said for modern medicine.
If you live long enough,your doctor develops Alzheimer's and has to retire.  Your eye doctor becomes physically challenged and has to retire.  Your dentist sells his practice and retires, then your favorite assistants and hygeinists cut back and then retire.  And then all your healthcare professionals suddenly are much younger than you.  They all look like they just got out of college...or worse, high school.  You are putting your care and comfort in the hands of the next generation..or even the next generation after that.  

You may not feel like you've gotten any older, but your body tells you differently.  And these new healthcare professionals are not the older and wise folk you used to look up to and feel taken care of in their presence.  They are not even your peers.  The thought crosses your mind that maybe they should be coming to you for advice and sage wisdom as you might know a bit more about certain things that simple life experiences have taught you.  But if you are lucky, as I am, they are competent, kind and efficient.

Life goes on.   Doors close and windows open.  There's always a new, innovative way of doing things and, if you wait a while, the old ways become new again.  Finally, you learn that's how it is.  With age comes wisdom and, if you're smart, patience.  That's just the way life is...especially in the realm of modern medicine and healthcare management.

Be well.

I feel the same way, but you've described the situation so well ! I recently changed dentists and I love that he has the latest and most efficient devices right in his office. No more temporary crowns while waiting for the permanent crown to be made!
