Beginning of the semester an undergrad stopped me in the hallway to ask for help finding her genetics class. Girl looked like she belonged in junior high school. I swear, every year the undergrads look younger and younger. At 58 I expect they think I look ancient.
It's the middle school students they are letting be doctors and arming as police that have me concerned.

Almost a decade ago, I looked around the boat I was racing on and realized I was --- for the first time in decades of racing --- the oldest crew. Was a bit of a shock. Now I'm 61 with foulies and a rigging knife that are older than many of the adults I race with.

That's good. I'm 62 and usually the youngest... sometimes by a lot.

They don't think it. You do.
When I was 30, between already being bald and having a salt and pepper beard, people would think I was 50. Now I am still bald, and the beard is mostly all salt, people still think I am 50. So I have caught up to my looks 🤣

My wife went to an orthopedics doc earlier this week. She said he looked like Doogie Houser!

I used to say I’m not comfortable going to a doc younger than me. I want someone with a little experience. Now there aren’t any older than me…….😳 Most of my docs have retired or are dead. My dentist retired 15 years ago. Keepers……..

and why does the office staff treat me like an 8 year old? “Well sir, you have to understand these scheduling issues are very complicated”…….yeah, I got your “complicated” right here…….

I thought it was a Miami thing. Doctor's office staff seems to be a mass of incompetence around here, even if the doc is really good.
My new ophthalmologist went to the high school I taught at. She started grade 10 two years after I retired. She finished high school, did an undergrad degree, did med school, and then residency (four years). I must be old!
Hah. Last time I went to the local eye doc glasses place had a very young looking doc. She was very good and obviously knew her trade, even if she did look a high school student.

I'm the opposite - we're looking for a new doc right now and my preference will be for a young female - Korean or similar if possible.

They have all the current training and don't yet thing they are God.

Question: What's the difference between a surgeon and God?

Answer: God doesn't think he's a surgeon.
 

Ease the sheet.
