What is a geriatrician and what makes the geriatrician role different? Well, we're going to look at all your medications and see which ones we can stop.

A geriatrician doctor will look at the whole person. We work with some specialists, but we don't send people out to specialists to take care of everything and then just kind of step back.

There's not a lot of training in geriatrics and how the treatments differ depending on the patient's age. A well-functioning treatment for a 40 or 50-year-old can be really problematic for an 80 or 90 years old. So, it is a problem. I do like to have my care manager tell me exactly what's going on out there, or at a facility have them tell me exactly hour by hour what's going on with this person and what over-the-counter medications they're taking.

If this is the first time you watch my videos, I am Dr Liz and I am a board-certified geriatric specialist. Over the years I have worked with thousands of families from all over the country to help elders through the aging process. Families are typically in crisis and don’t know where to turn when loved ones have dementia, Alzheimer’s, medication problems, or any complications from aging. I feel we must take away medications that “zombify” our elders and adjust meds to get our loved ones back to the happy, productive people they once were. Do you have questions or concerns? Don’t panic. Dr Liz Geriatrics is your resource for everything and anything you need to know about aging. I am so glad you stopped by and remember we are here to help.
