*The* most unsettling thing about getting older is realising that, slowly
but surely, I'm turning into my father.
One of the other most unsettling things about getting older is realising
that, slowly but surely, I'm turning into one of those older GPs that I used
to meet at meetings when I was a younger GP.
More often than not, these days, I find myself thinking, when considering
the launch of a new drug, not "oh, that sounds good, must give it a try" but
"Hmmm, think I'll let everyone else have a go with this one then, after a

pending, I might give it a whirl."
Nonetheless, I still have a fair few on rofecoxib.
