Doctors Dwindle, Snow Top Populations Sky Rocket
A
Hunting Snow Tops remains unread and in hopeless obscurity, yet the factors that will inevitably lead to the horrors to be faced by the elderly are skyrocketing!! AARP, January/February 2025 Issue- Page 10. “Yet despite the more that 97,000 students I medical school, 38,000in osteopathic school, and 152,000 doctors currently in residencies and fellowships, the AAMC predicts a shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036. By then, it projects that the U.S. population will have risen by 8.4 percent since 2021. The population of those over sixty-five will increase by 34%, while the number of people seventy-five and over will increase by 55%!” (my exclamation point!!)
These swelling percentages of Snow Tops don’t just reflect a crisis in the medical industry trying to care for them, they reflect a crisis for the country in trying to feed, house and manage these swelling number and an individual crisis for the old people caught up in this tsunami because there will be no services available to millions of them. (or us, as the case may be.)
