Hi.  Not a lot of folks from the Southeast on here, so I thought I would say hello from Georgia.

Hello and welcome Futureortho!   I'm not from anywhere near the US but I always make an effort to welcome new members when I see an introduction thread.

Welcome! A few questions I like to ask to medicine students, there is no wrong answer:

- is a concept of "aging" a large component in your courses? or do we instead generally talk about "diseases"?

- If a frail old man needs long-term-care following a cold or a fall or something else that would not have mattered to a young person, would your professors consider that the culprit is the cold?

- If we had to choose between developing drugs that maintain frail people a little longer or developing drugs that have long term positive effects (similarly to regular exercice), what should we choose?

=> what should be medicine like today?

Cheers,
AgeVivo.
