Frank Smolle, our Australian correspondent, interviews nurse Carol Mortenson about her experiences working with older patients and her views on age discrimination (Ageism) in Australia.

Stereotyping of the elderly: A functional approach. British Journal of Social Psychology, 33, 63-82. At the end of the show, Frank has chosen the podsafe music selection: “Sweetness from Nothing” by Zerobae.
