Dec 2016

my health problems can no longer be solved by my GP. Usually, I just see a specialist when my GP thinks I need one. I guess if I get to the stage where I can't remember my husband's name or don't know where I live, my problems will be too big for my GP and a geriatric specialist might be a prudent move.
