Abstract
A historian of aging, privileged to work with an interdisciplinary team of caregivers and researchers in a division of geriatric and palliative care of a major medical school and teaching hospital, discovers that his history of chronic illnesses secures him a useful role as a humanistic patient who helps clinicians to respond to the concerns, fears, and needs of aging Boomers.
