I Help elderly with medications
The handicaps of older ci
tizens are often overlooked.
Diminishing mental and
physical abilities can leave
the aged person in a feeble
minded, child-like state.
Yet, many of these same
people are expected to self
medicate with powerful
drugs ? a responsibility
we'd never dream of giving
our children. And in all
honesty, I can see little dif
ference between the handi
cap old age brings and that
of extreme youthfulness,
where strong drugs are con
cerned. -
Let's make it our busi
ness to give older citizens
the same consideration we
give our children when they
are taking powerfully po
tent medicines. You can
help.
