When a car start ageing it begins to develop problems. We don't want get rid of it so we take it to the mechanic for repair. This thing will go on with more and more occurrences. If the mechanic is good he will do the necessary repairs for a while but hopefully his honesty will kick in and at that time he will say that there is nothing more can be done.
Are we in a similar situation? We are at a certain age when various discomforting issues pop up. Some are more discomforting than others. We go to the doctors hoping that they can fix whatever bothers us. The doctor being a good guy (or lady) will do his best to make our lives easier by prescribing some medication that supposed to ease our pains, and our minds.
My question is that like the honest mechanic will the doctor, taking our age into account would say that there is nothing more that can be done? Or that is not professional? Since medicine turned to become more and more businesslike, would the doctors keep on treating us because there is always money to be made or they follow the old Hippocratic oath?
This is a scary thought. It is normal that just an unwound clock. Things eventually tun down and stop. Do our parts work the same way? Only time will tell.
