I think that's the research also--that you have 39 prescriptions--but I think it's eight different medications when you're over 65. I think that's perhaps a culture of the physician who has very limited time, because sometimes physiotherapy or some other kind of therapy could reduce the need for medication. It's also the behaviour of the patient wanting medication and perhaps seeing more than one doctor.
