The Medical Profession And An Aging Population?

It is taking longer and longer to see a doctor.

It is at least a month and maybe two or three.

These wait times are the direct result of the increasing number of older patients.

It’s not that hospitals aren’t responding.

They are all building new facilities and adding staff.

And the doctors are getting older too.

Because of the increasing workload, more doctors are retiring.

Their retirement takes with them much expertise.

There are more and more PA’s trying to fill the gap at walk-in centers and medical offices.

It is a difficult situation for all.
