It is obvious, at least to me, that medical care is much more than the so called extreme treatments displayed on the show House. As far as the problem with retirement I am with the rest of our group and can not come up with a viable solution as to how to make elderly people more beneficial to our society. I do agree that we can use their wisdom and knowledge and this issue does need to be looked into further.

I think most people are aware that these are just shows on TV, and know that they don't accurately represent real life. <br /><br />I also think that this "counsel of elders" is an interesting idea. It would give the elderly something to occupy their time, which I believe is needed. Retirement is not always the best plan for mental or physical health. With the human lifespan increasing, we would be remiss to assume that all people aged 65+ need to "take it easy" and quit the workforce. It can lead to a sedentary lifestyle, and possibly depression/dementia. This could occur if inactivity is compounded by lack of human interaction and no sense of accomplishment (things normally achieved from an active career). When we discussed this case in class, we were all in agreement that there is a problem, but no legitimate solution was suggested. <br /><br />Also, in case anyone wants to drive a tank (and crush cars with it!) here's the website to the only place in the US that offers this as a payable experience: http://driveatank.com/index_BGY6.phpAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148158205225732068noreply@blogger.com
