Older adults have unique needs. This very personal CONVERSATION with Randi Shubin Dresner and geriatrician, Dr Maria Carney, uncovers some of the difficulties in treating senior citizens. Together they talk about myriad ailments that can be overlooked and difficult to diagnose and treat. Randi speaks openly about how challenging it was to care for her father, who passed just short of his 100 birthday, and her mother-in-law, who passed 2 months later at 93. This CONVERSATION dives into how geriatricians care for seniors by properly managing their health, use targeted questions to uncover “geriatric syndromes” and prescribe special treatments targeted to older adults. They discuss how important it is to ensure that seniors are given the opportunity to be as highly functioning as possible while preserving dignity and independence.
