At my job, I deal with patient files in a hospital network outside the US. One thing hit me today, much harder than usual: a lot of patients deal with dementia and other neurocognitive decline situations in their 70s, and even sometimes late 60s. It is common, as many know, around the world. But if we are to work until retirement at 65 (if we even get to retire then), a lot of us could work their whole lives, sacrifice dreams and moments with friends and family, just to potentially enjoy 5 to 15 years in good health (if we're lucky).
So today, I'm walking around at work as if I got a sinister diagnosis, even though I'm healthy.
