My friends dad became very depressed when he could no longer perform surgery because of decreasing eye site and loss of fine motor skills.
Wish you the best of luck.e's neveMy dad has always prefered to take the "less is better" approach to medicine.
He probably wouldn’t go for that. He’s always had the philosophy in medicine less is better. I am sure he would apply that here. He does medicate with an alcohol ritual. Double manhattan before dinner and a double bourbon & 7 at night before bed. It seems to work for him. At this point I don't know weather you could argue it's doing him any harm.
