Excited that @IOASFBAY has invited me to talk next Monday about better ways to talk to your #agingparents if you're concerned about #memoryloss, falls, driving, or other signs of decline! I'll be joined by @PSpencerScott. Join us! eventbrite.com/e/when-your-ag… #aging #geriatrics
Have finally gotten to try a smartwatch for fall detection. But, so far @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy active 2 watch is not detecting my falls (& I'm almost getting hurt here!). Can't say I'd recommend for #aging or emergencies.
Have you -- or someone you know -- been worried for declining #agingparents? If so, I wrote my new book, "When Your Aging Parent Needs Help: A Geriatrician's step-by-step guide" for YOU, and I'm celebrating its release TODAY! #aging #geriatrics #caregiving buff.ly/3p6Heqg
This week on BHWA, geriatrician Dr. Didyk @TheWrinkle2 explains Urinary #Incontinence in #Aging. Great article covering the #geriatrics approach, including imp causes to check for, what to know about meds, managing incontinence in #dementia, & more! buff.ly/33HUNow
Am VERY disappointed by this story. Pppl are out walking & exercising bc it's VITAL TO MENTAL & PHYSICAL HEALTH, & esp imp in stressful times. Gyms are closed,few commutes. Instead of complaining, @drsanjaygupta shd lead an effort to promote safer outdoor movement during #covid19
"I still really get the impression people in many places aren't taking this seriously," @drsanjaygupta says on many San Francisco residents ignoring the shelter in place order to stay home. "I'm worried these numbers- they keep going up."
Yikes. Ok it is time (past time, probably) to really think about implications of #covid19 pandemic for our frail #aging adults. Everyone knows basics: social distancing, minimize travel, etc. My specific Qs: how will #hospice treat frail elders at home w #covid? #Geriatrics
Sexuality is important at all ages, but certain issues are common w #aging, esp if you are #caregiving for yr partner. So excited to share this new post by Dr. Didyk of @TheWrinkle2 on Sex & Caregiving (even if #alzheimers or other #dementia betterhealthwhileaging.net/navigating-sex… #geriatrics

Argh. Ordered a CT for a pt this week. No results faxed to me. Called radiology: they were faxed to my old practice fax of 6 years ago. This is nuts. My NPI has been assoc w my current fax since 2012, plus it's on the requisition. #healthit dysfunction! #healthcare
