Three weeks ago, I acquired a new patient. Jean is 88 years old and lives in an outstanding local retirement center. Her daughter and son-in-law, already my patients, asked me to assume her care in a crisis.

Six weeks before, when the coronavirus stay-at-home orders started, Jean had been the life of the party. She was quite involved in the social life at the retirement center, arranging activities for her friends and co-residents. One or more of her family visited her almost every day. She was happy and fulfilled.
