Important findings from a former @IMResidencyDuke resident about the frequency of high-risk medications in older adults with dementia.

"Over 5,000 people ages 65 and over in the U.S. died of a drug overdose in 2020, and more than twice that many (11,616) died of alcohol-induced causes." New report from the CDC that emphasizes the need to ask about ALL substance use in our older patients.

I love this thread. It highlights so many of the things I love about Geriatrics. I hope that we can continue to show others why this is such an amazing field. #Geriatrics

[Sandra Shi @shisadoctor]

One guess which bar #Geriatrics is.

I would like to start a conversation about why Geriatrics is awesome and why amazing people choose to go into this.

I like older adults. I like stories. I'm super nosy and like to get into details a lot. Like, an astounding amount.

[Chelsea Perfect, MD MPH @ChelPerfectMD]
