摘要

Thomas Riccio, a lanky 84-year-old, was dozing off in the waiting room. A former crane operator at a steel mill and a World War II veteran, he had been in for a physical six months earlier and everything was fine. His only chronic medical problem was high blood pressure. When I called his name, he stood up and swayed, almost losing his balance. His wife and I lunged, each grabbing one of his arms. "I'm OK, I'm OK," he insisted. "Just when I get up sometimes, I almost lose my balance, but I haven't fallen." His wife told me it was the fourth time in three months that he'd come to the VA clinic with dizziness. At our regular visits he always said that every-thing was good. He wasn't one to complain.
