Elderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining Life by Louise Aronson

3.0

Memoir mixed with case studies and policy, fairly rambling yet sharp insight and honesty. But strong themes that aging is systematically treated as abnormal/invisible in society and medicine, and that medical specialization and focus on illness/procedures leads to inhumane, wasteful, and sometimes dangerous maltreatment of aging's interactions of conditions and health needs.
