For many Americans, getting older means dealing with illnesses, losing ones independence, and losing friends and loved ones. And that has most of us scared of aging. But Dr. Bill Thomas, an expert in geriatric medicine and eldercare, says our senior years don't have to be a time of isolation and is trying to change the way Americans think about that stage of their lives. We'll talk with Dr. Thomas about his ideas and how he hopes to change the dialogue on aging. Dr. Thomas is the author of several books, including his most recent, "What Are Old People For? How Elders Will Save the World". He will be in New Hampshire later in the week as part of AARP's national "Medicines and You" campaign.
