Hyperbole much? At least I hope so... A doctor telling a patient that has is priorities all wrong.
End of life and geriatric care is a very different beast than treating the rest of the population with respect to how medications/treatments are provided. Typically medicines are looser and procedures are tighter. My FIL is 81. He has horrible arthritis. Who cares if he is on opiates if he can get about now and better enjoy his remaining years? We, as a family, just make sure he doesn't drive. Like most things, its about making choices and if that choice (medication in this instance) benefits you.
