This finding is not surprising to me at all
but is reassuring.
I sort of experience what the article is saying
almost everyday as I continue to practice
cardiology and internal medicine along with
an internist 23 years younger than I.
My internist consults with me multiple times a day
on complext medical problems.
Most of my patients are very elderly and have
multiple diagnoses, ten to twenty diagnoses.
In other words, they have many co-morbid conditions.
I often feel like playing an orchestra when I treat
a given patient because I have to think of all of those
before I make any medical decision.
And I seem to have no stress in analysing the complex
medical problems in contrast to my younger colleagues.
It obviously makes sense in that medicine is an
empirical science, depending upon the knowledge
you have accumulated.
I've been in medical practice over 39 years, and
have enjoyed doing so more than ever in the last ten years.
Like the old saying goes, it's not easy to teach an old dog
a new trick. Yet the old dog seems to know how to
incorpoarate the new trick with the old tricks he learned
in the past compared to the young dog which does not know
how to connect the new one with his small reservoir of
old tricks to make an effective solution to the complex problem.
