Abstract:
The geriatric population is a challenge to those health professionals who are willing enough to give them a chance. Growing old is just that, a growth process. We should break the pattern of neglecting growth and promoting regression. In 1916, Cabot and Crabtree had foresight into the future of intermittent catheterization when they said, in reference to urinary tract infections, that "there is no subject in which there is so little uniformity of opinion and so much confusion." Through continued education and research, we hope to reverse negative attitudes. With more uniformity in their care, the geriatric population can continue to live a comfortable, socially acceptable life.
