One of the fields where we can find the impacts of ageism is medicine. When health providers talk to older people, they usually use a louder, higher-pitched, and slower voice and try to use less complicated words. They think that older people are hard of hearing, and by my talking more clearly, they want to show some sympathy. But it’s rude to categorize other people based on no evidence and by default.
Another example is when kids go to health providers. When an adult goes to get checked out by a health professionalist, the doctors try to find out what’s wrong with them, but when a kid goes to get checked out, one of the things that many doctors consider first is that maybe they want to skip school or are trying to get some attention. And it is absolutely no reason for this behaviour except their age which makes this another example of ageism.
