Episode 2 welcomes Dr. Brandon Verdoorn, MD CMD, a Geriatrician at Mayo Clinic as our guest speaker to talk about the importance of understanding and recognizing frailty as a geriatric syndrome.
After decades of research, Frailty is much more than what traditionally is viewed as just a physical construct. There are many implications to be aware of. In this episode, we discuss:
- How has the understanding of frailty changed and evolved over the years? What are the negative outcomes and risks associated that many of us may not be aware of?
- Is Frailty an inevitable part of aging?
- Why is this something all providers need to be aware of? Including those in subspecialty practice? Why does an Anesthesiologist need to know about Frailty?
- Can Frailty itself be a cause of death?
- How do we recognize and screen for this? Is there a way to foresee if someone is at higher risk?
- What is the most important thing we should be doing now to prevent/delay frailty?
- Potential treatments on the horizon
- Words of wisdom and advice on helping our patients, loved ones and ourselves age forward positive despite living with frailty
PLUS- Take away points and life hacks learned from caring for the older adult population.
