UPI: Geriatrician says boomers should avoid ageism themselves

An article distributed by UPI reports baby boomers should avoid self-prejudice and ignore ageist comments from others, according to Robert Stall, assistant professor of medicine and a specialist in geriatrics; aging boomers have a lot to expect in terms of health and well-being, he said. And as baby boomers age, they are demanding changes in how society, government and the courts deal with aging-related chronic care, according to Anthony Szczygiel, professor of law; "too often the nursing home staff gives up on the patients and stops providing…therapy," he said.
