It's a familiar scene for any EMS responder who has transported nursing home residents. The room is filled with people apparently suffering the various afflictions of time: those with problems hearing, seeing, walking, feeding and expressing themselves, and performing the simple, everyday tasks younger people ordinarily do without conscious effort. Some people are in wheelchairs. Others hobble about on canes or crutches.
