The study began in 1988 and included patients 17 to 80 years old.

He has worked with patients older than 100, including one who was 106.

The older poor patient gets put to the back of the line.

I think that's the right way to do it, since everyone will have older patients.

One patient, 17 years old, has already died from the disease.

And if so, were they ready to take on a new, or rather, old patient yet?

But within both groups, the older patients did better than the younger ones.

For some older patients this can be more important than the treatment of their medical condition itself.

Indeed, for the oldest patients, those most at risk, the level of treatment was even lower.
