[quote=Anonymous]Can you give some examples? There are things like say knee surgeries that are a reasonable suggestion up to a certain age, but once someone is very elderly the risk of death, dementia or worsened dementia from anesthesia, aspiration pneumonia from anesthesia and so many other things goes way up. So all they can suggest is PT. There are great medicines out there, but if you are on a handful of medicines, the risks of interactions or falls can increase. There's just a lot of issues with the over 85 folks where the risks with treatment may be greater than risks without.[/quote]
