A medical diagnosis you may not have heard about

Sam Smith - A fellow creaky 83-year-old friend reports that his Maine doctor told him he was suffering from 1937itis. Hope the Mayo Clinic picks up on this. As I noted a few months ago, the medical profession tends to treat old age like an auto mechanic treats old cars. They fix the internal devices while the vehicle itself continues to rust and decay. As an arthritic 83-old my best medical assistance has come from a physical therapist along with Netflix and Amazon, which provide the TV shows that keep me riding my recumbent bike.
