Missed ageism awareness day? Still important to think about! Language matters. Get rid of “silver tsunami.” Use “we,” not “they,” because we are all aging! @ASAging

“When you make enough money, you get to write the laws”

Once again and forever more, health insurance companies (and the pointless middleman companies they own) don’t care about you.



This is what loving your age looks like!

Them: “Wow, y’all don’t look like you’re in your 40’s and 50’s!” Us: “Actually? We do. This is what Black women in their 40’s and 50’s look like.” True story, bro. #BlackMomMagic

An excellent article. Stories change lives. Honored that this is such a big part of my job too #thisisgeriatrics

Frustrated by prior authorizations or peer-to-peers? Wondering why so many patients now have Medicare Advantage? @nursemarian and I just published a review of Medicare Advantage policies that clinicians, researchers, and policy makers need to be aware of! rdcu.be/dctvm


This is all so true! Geriatrics and home-based primary care adds icing to this cake 🍰 Primary Care has many joys!

As I wrap up my 5th year of #primarycare practice, I can't help but reflect on the TEN "sparks" trainees may miss out on during residency that make this work so rewarding. A 🧵of #gratitude... @CLOSLER @primarycarechat @indupartha @adamcifu @gabrieldane @GIMaPreceptor 0/11



Had fun talking with Sam Baker 🤩 about the impact of falls in older adults! Simple things can reduce your risk. Falling is not normal, talk to your PCP about possible causes and prevention. @LeaderMcConnell #thisisgeriatrics

Using ACP billing code results in 20% patient co-pay if completed outside annual Medicare wellness visits, which occurs more often for non-white patients. Reducing this disparity requires legislative action. #hapc23 @SarguniSingh, Marian Grant DNP, @Lacinda86 & @debfreelandmd

Look at @whole_patients saying the hard truths. Thank you for this.

The dehumanizing effects of the preparation for medical school, medical education, physician training, and the practice of medicine - which results in physicians who are less equipped to provide humanized care to their patients. We need to help future physicians be more human.
