❌ I thought frailty was only for geriatricians .

Dory segev says a big NO to that

✅Frailty : state of decreased physiological reserve

✅ it’s both physical and cognitive

✅ we don’t measure but we need to

✅one more risk predictor for outcome

Meet Dr. Phylis Tawiah…One of only about 2-3 trained Geriatricians in Ghana, she’s also the Queen Mother of Aninkroma in Ghana’s Ashanti region. Loved every bit of my conversation with her on last week’s episode of #TheNatalieFortShow , it’s available on YouTube 🎥

There are lots of “nice” geriatricians. But there are fierce ones too, badasses, trailblazers, visionaries. You can be an academic or a clinical leader, play as hard as you work, or focus on work life balance. Everything is possible! We just happen to care about older people

As geriatricians ⬇️ #GI is caring for older #IBD pts. Dr Bharati Kochar tells us

🏃Not all older adults are equal
🧰Don’t limit your 💊 toolbox (comorbidities >>> age for outcomes)
🦴Screen osteoporosis & mental health
🗣️Communicate & consent appropriately with teach-back

Looking forward to hear about shared decision making chaired by two favorite #gerionc geriatricians #SIOG2023

Well it takes a special kind of id1ot to label others as id1ots based on a one shot 'vaccines are bad' argument. Any subject from bullet trains to space exploration to nVidia stock prices and somehow vaccines will come into picture. Geriatricians should stick to geriatrics.

geriatricians should diagnose straightforward cases of dementia when everything is clear, even when seeing people as an acute admission. story in British Geriatrics Society

I think as geriatricians we’ve got to be more open minded to the treatment options for older Ca adults….mainly a note to myself 🙋🏽‍♀️

Working together with oncology & the wider MDT will make a difference to patient care

Great talk Jessica Pearce 👏🏽👏🏽
