OPINION: Surgeons, Pilots And Others Eventually Get Too Old To Work — So Why Don’t Politicians?
12:00 PM 02/12/2019 | Opinion
Brian Joondeph | Physician

Older surgeons are coming under increasing scrutiny as their competence and ability to practice medicine are called into question especially since many continue to work in their 60s and 70s. The New York Times addressed this in a recent article entitled, “When is the surgeon too old to operate?”

They described an 80-year-old chief of vascular surgery at a New Jersey hospital who was the first doctor evaluated by a new aging surgeon program, which after testing, reported that, “He could capably continue operating.”

According to the American College of Surgeons, “Approximately one-third of all practicing surgeons are older than age 55.” It is clear that certain surgical skills may decline with age, including vision, cognition, and manual dexterity, but it is not at all clear at what age this occurs, and how much it varies from surgeon to surgeon.

Because those others are honorable professions.

And they require skill and experience.  A politician can be as stupid as a box of rocks and still get elected.  That broad from NYC is a perfect example of this.  he other one, the Somali from Minnesota is another.

A politician can work until death because he was never expected to add value to anything.

That's quite true. But even professional thieves eventually hang it up.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Politicians don't work.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-
