For this research I had the opportunity to interview a Doctor who is also a retired captain from the US navy. Through this paper I will only refer to him as Dr. O.
I asked Dr. O the following 3 Questions:
(Q) How has your age impact your performance as a Doctor?
A- Although I enjoy what I do, there are times that I tend to forget what I was doing or who is that I needed to reach out. My memory at times is a huge challenge.
(Q) How difficult is it to balance your leisure and your career?
A- Balancing my leisure has been rather difficult because I’m constantly experiencing being fatigued and my wife also depends on him due to her health issues. Despite of all of mentioned, my commitment to my patients is imperative.
(Q) What advantage do you feel you have being an older Doctor versus a new surgeon who is just starting?
A- Having the lifetime experience that I have along with the trust that my patients have in me and my recommendations in regards to their care. Trust is a huge factor in medical care and that you don’t earn overnight.
