Geriatrics doctor Bill Thomas says old people hold the key to a healthy society, and longevity must be embraced rather than feared.
Growing old doesn’t have to be about nursing homes and wheelchairs, as Dr. Bill Thomas writes in his new book, “What are Old People For? How Elders Will Save the World.” Dr. Thomas talks with host Steve Curwood about how our elders could be powerful leaders, if only society would let them lead.
