• Op-Ed Contributor - The Patients Doctors Don?t Know - NYTimes.com: Doctors are often unaware that 80-year-olds are not the same as 50-year-olds. Pneumonia in the latter causes fever, cough and difficulty breathing; in the former the same illness may have none of these symptoms. She may just seem ?not herself? -confused and unsteady, or unable to get out of bed. In a hospital she may receive a dose of antibiotic suitable for a 50 year old but is double what an 80-year-old should get leading to kidney failure, weakness and more confusion. In her confusion, she pulls the tube from her arm and the catheter from her bladder. Instead of re-evaluating whether the tubes are needed, her doctor then has the nurses to tie her arms to the bed which increases her agitation, keeps her bed-bound, and results in loss of muscle and bone mass. Eventually, she recovers from the pneumonia and her mind is clearer, so she?s discharged a frailer weaker woman who needs help with walking, bathing and daily chores.
