It's a pleasure as always.
Well, I think I might have a a kind of different answer to many people on that one, where I would argue that not expressing concern when it's warranted could be a version of ageism.
When you ignore the bad parts of things, you're not telling the full story, you're not giving voice.
And we've certain certainly seen this with racism and other isms.
So we need to discuss the full spectrum of aging honestly, or when we discuss the good parts, we will lack credibility.
Well, I think obviously y you don't want to break the law and you don't want to violate professional ethics.
There is a tension if you are concerned that your silence can be a form of complicity and bad behavior too.
We have a certain amount of expertise.
So you have to kind of walk a fine line in saying.
I am unable to make a diagnosis without seeing a patient.
I am unable to, you know, make uh certain pronouncements.
Um, here are the things that concern me as a clinician, and there's an array of things that could lead to this.
Um, but but I think clinical concerns are legitimate to bring up if you're talking about someone who's in a position to do harm to others.
And then hearkening back to Ken's point of empathy, I think we're seeing a lot of just like get rid of old people.
Instead of, you know, there are ways you can function and live a fulfilling life.
And also spending your last days.
I mean, I I think of Feinstein being wheeled in looking
Horrific.
I mean, that is a heck of a thing to do to your life and your loved ones.
So I think there's all kinds of room for greater empathy for what the human might do with the individual might do with the their remaining life.
