My husband and I prefer a geriatric care Dr.

Regular GP or specialist fo pts over 50

Medical practicians have really changed since the past 20 to 30 years ago! A Doc 30 years ago used to be an all around doctor. Now days, the newer physcians look and are very young. If the problem is to complex they send you off to a specialist to take over. Which is`nt the worst thing to do. But, you end up with a mulitude of different doctors. The "left hand not knowing what the right hand has done".

So I think it would be an excellant idea if there were doctors that specialized in the treatment of the older generation of all of us that are aging and need more attention and "repairs' which comes with ageing.
