I actually was in #Chicago at a #Geriatrics conference when the Pope was announced, and I was chatting with a very wonderful, soft spoken and level headed Catholic colleague whose spouse has family ties to the Pope, and I immediately knew that this was a good choice. It was.

ok even if this is not as bad as it sounds (it's in one state, #Utah, and it's only for SSRIs like Zoloft and Prozac, not benzos, not amphetamines), and ones previously prescribed by a #psychiatrist - it's still bad.
In #Geriatrics SSRIs can cause #hyponatremia (low sodium), bradycardia, etc

Probably not a coincidence that jobs on #Geriatrics career boards that have been posted for more than a year are in #abortionban (or better called emergency women’s healthcare ban) states
On the other end, there isn’t a single open position in #Minnesota
#Geriatrics, besides having the most #international medical graduates of any specialty, also has the most #women #doctors (along with general #pediatrics).
Geriatricians literally have hundreds of jobs available to them, the chances of taking one in a 6 week ban or total ban state is…low
I...also kind of like Catholics as far as Christians go? At least ones who actually practice their scriptures? My favorite rotation by far as a #Geriatrics fellow was spending a month caring for #nuns Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi in #Milwaukee. Feisty old ladies, gorgeous campus on #LakeMichigan
So we may not need #Geriatricians in 30 years, because this administration is basically actively trying to kill everyone off before age 65 by starting neverending #wars and cutting all #scientific research on to why early #heartattacks and #cancer are occurring.
The #Geriatrics doomers may be right
Vascular depression is one of the most underrecognized forms of depression.
Older patient.
Gradual onset.
Cognitive slowing.
HTN/DM.
White matter changes on MRI.
That’s not just “regular depression in an older person.”

Truly every #Geriatrics - trained professional in this country (even those who lean conservative) has to be looking at this with horror that someone with clearly moderate to early advanced #cognitive #impairment has access to the #nuclear codes.
I don't think the Founders ever intended this.

Yeah I figured this out for myself quickly in 2008, as an unemployed total basket case for a few months. While #doctors are not immune from layoffs, especially now with #hospitals closing, it is exceedingly rare in #Geriatrics, and if you are board certified with a pulse can find job within a week

my parents occasionally say “hey you should come [practice #Geriatrics] in #India!”
Lmao no. While some older adults exist in India, society has not been accommodating of their needs at all (and #Geriatrics does not exist as a specialty except in tiny very wealthy pockets where it’s only concierge)

I'm late to the party, but:
Other than exercise, plant-based diets, and social engagement, there aren't individual-level interventions for #longevity with very strong evidence for the moment.
#Geriatrics
That's the one indication where you can and probably should use #Benadryl. Hopefully very rare use. But using it for any other reason, especially sleep is completely anathema in the #Geriatrics world
In #Geriatrics? Highly anticholinergic, dozens of patients who have taken one dose and hospitalized for urinary retention/renal failure needing Foley catheters, ileus, delirium/falls, etc
Geriatricians despise it. Hell, I took one pill of Tylenol PM a few weeks ago, so dizzy I couldn’t stand
These LKA questions aren’t hard, but not looking forward to having to keep track of 60 questions every quarter for 4 years when I have to renew #Geriatrics too next year
I feel for you who are triple or quadruple boarded (eg IM/heme/onc or IM/pulm/crit care or IM/Geri/palliative/something else)
