The other night I admitted a woman in her 90s to the hospital. When I asked her how her chest pain started, she said she started feeling it while she was at work. At first I was thinking "Does she have dementia?" but she explained that she works at the downtown Safeway Deli (A US grocery chain for those who are non US). It was pretty special to me because I have never met anyone in their 90s who works, much less with that kind of job. Usually if there's an 80 year old I meet who's still working, they have a more cerebral job like being an engineer or scientist or professor. When I told her how surprised I was she told me that if I lived in Iceland I wouldn't be as surprised as people apparently work these kinds of jobs often.
