Sekar and the doctor are correct:" *Therefore, the elderly must pay attention to anti-skid and anti-fall.* *One fall will cost ten years of life. Because all the bones and muscles are destroyed. Surgery is useless, and conservative treatment is also a drag. So, be careful.* *The message may look long, but it’s worth reading it especially for the seniors, and those taking care of seniors.* *From Dr Ramvilas Malani, Nagpur.* KR: However, one thing the doctor forgot to tell you is, WALK SLOWLY AND FIRMLY AS FAR AS POSSIBLE. 2 iF FATE IS OTHERWISE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREVENT IT ALSO.3 don't be aloof but stay in the visibility regions. 19623
