Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 88-year-old widower. My wife died six years ago. I live alone, care for myself, drive, and consider myself healthy. I take five prescription meds and seven over-the-counter meds, three of which were strongly recommended by doctors. I go to a 1-hour seniors’ exercise class twice a week and attend church and home Bible study every week. I have diabetes and had a triple bypass surgery seven years ago.
