A geriatrician cares for the body and mind in old age, but in India, they are rare because we are a young country that forgets its elders. The obvious answer is to train more doctors, but my life says the deeper lack is in our own planning—we save for weddings, not for our fading health. I now see my handloom savings, which bought books, should have also bought a health fund, for a doctor's fee is a sudden, heavy rain no umbrella can cover—*phijigee*.
