Bit of a rant here so get out now while you have the chance.
I keep seeing this come up more and more as the generation before me is coming to the finish line. People having medical issues and just don not follow the doctors instruction. Simple things like, if they would watch their diet, they will not need the insulin, or something to get them off O2. Basic things like taking their meds or avoiding alcohol seem to be too much trouble for them. Oh and God forbid you ask them to do any PT after a serious medical problem. PT maybe the difference between spending the last 5 years of their life in a wheelchair or still being somewhat mobile.
What gives? Do old people just give up?
