Listen "Elderhood"
Episode Synopsis
How can we live well to the ends of our lives? And how are we affected by societys view of being old and being elder? As Louise Aronson aged herself, her view of these questions deepened. As a gerontologist she had already been keenly aware of the differences in this stage of life and how they impacted her patients. But as her own experience changed her viewpoint she realized that even the care offered during this part of our lives is based on knowledge that may not apply to the old or the very old. She set out to discover what makes this time of life rewarding and how she could best navigate these years both as a physician and a person. And as baby boomers hit this time in our lives, taking a careful look at attitudes and stereotypes that may affect care becomes ever more critical.
