The article discusses the probable dependence of the actions of a specialist working with geriatric patients on the age, gender, and other characteristics of this specialist. This seemingly unconventional approach to research in the field of gerontology and geriatrics reveals distinct differences in a number of aspects of clinical thinking and following clinical recommendations in doctors of different ages, genders, and in different states of their own health. On the basis of a survey of 126 doctors and an analysis of 2 394 of their opinions, the results were obtained, indicating a certain conservatism of doctors over the age of 50, especially men with extensive clinical experience. The article discusses cases of so-called self-ageism of an elderly specialist who uses in his professional actions the results of diagnosis and treatment of the age-associated pathology that he himself suffers from. It is proposed in the process of continuing education or professional training of geriatricians to take into account their age, sex and health status, as well as accompany classes mandatory determination of the biological age of the specialist. |
