As one of the physicians who recently expressed concern about President Joe Biden's health and his likelihood of significant decline over the next four and a half years, I was relieved when he ended his reelection campaign... he had his car keys and driver's license taken away with the whole world watching.
I have wished that I could have Biden in my exam room, not as the president of the United States, but as a patient in my geriatrics clinic. Instead, watching from afar... I worried that little of this was happening.
Despite the aging U.S. population, few clinicians are trained to care for aging bodies, much less to discuss the developmental stages of elderhood and identity-threatening realities of later life.
