I called Mum in #Adelaide to let her know we got a microwave on sale, in case she wanted to replace theirs (it’s failing) but no, she didn’t. But in the course of that conversation, she revealed that Dad’s gerontologist has okayed Dad giving up one of the #dementia medications - but also the gerontologist basically has given up on Dad. “Nothing to be done, no more help for Alzheimer’s. Don’t come back.” I think that’s bullshit, they need a new #gerontologist. What do you think?

As a #gerontologist, I'm all for promoting healthy #aging, but this approach sounds like a greek tragedy (or Oscar Wilde novel) in the making. https://www.vice.com/en/article/z34ay8/bryan-johnson-blueprint-aging-biotech
