I concur fully with Doctors Ralston and Rowland on the blatant ageism of the editorial comment following this article. I have been blessed to work with some older (in one case over 70) surgeons and GPS's over the past 20 years--wisdom, experience, caution when indicated, have all contributed to positive outcomes.
Working in a team of physicians, from young learners, to semi-retired older physicians, is a rich and safe environment for our patients. We all need to examine our biases! (Ageism, sexism, racism, the lot!).
