A member asked:
I have pectus, will my geriatrician care?

No! Why?: Regardless of whether you have pectus excavatum (hollow chest) or pectus carinatum (pigeon chest) makes no difference to me as a geriatrician. While it may affect your heart & lungs, it matters not in what i think of you as a patient. I think that's your concern, right?

Depends: There is no set age for patients if under the care by a geriatrician. However it is up to a geriatrician to take your case.
