Geriatric medicine is one of the hardest practices in my opinion - you have elderly folks who may or may not be able to communicate well what is going on, you usually have multiple issues/conditions/system failures to deal with & frankly, some you treat, others you may not. The entire patient, mental & physical status, needs to be considered. I say this after taking care of an 80+ yo old & from dealing with elderly parents with multiple issues going on. It’s very difficult. This ER for the elderly sounds wonderful.
You may be right. But I just don't trust them.
Medicine has gotten too conflicted. The interests of the patient are too often over-ridden by other concerns, such as cost and convenience. Obamacare will make this exponentially worse.
