So, the question becomes, what, if anything, should we do differently in the primary care setting to diagnose the disease? On todays podcast, weve invited Nathaniel Chin back to the GeriPal podcast to talk about what primary care needs to manage this new world of Alzheimers disease effectively. Great to be back.

First, we’ve invited Jerry Gurwitz to talk about his recently published article in JAMA titled The Paradoxical Decline of Geriatric Medicine as a Profession (while it’s not the most upbeat title for the future of geriatrics, Jerry sees it as a call to action). I was going to start off by asking Jerry about why he wrote the JAMA article.

I’d also like to give a shout out to a recent ACP article on HFpEF with an outstanding contribution from Ariela Orkaby, geriatrician extraordinaire (we also just did a podcast with her on frailty ). ** This podcast is not CME eligible.

This episode is a must-listen for those navigating the evolving landscape of cancer care, and asking not just how we treat cancer, but how we support people who are living with it. And so I wonder if a way to think about our role would be when we are seeing patients for whom survivorship care is applicable. Survivors of care.

This is the latest in our series of podcasts on concerns about, and potential of advance care planning. Start by reading this article by Sean Morrison, Diane Meier, and Bob Arnold in JAMA , and this response from Rebecca Sudore, Susan Hickman, and Anne Walling. I worry, as a ex-primary care doctor, how much time I have.

First, we talk with Christine, a researcher and geriatrician from the University of North Carolina, who recently published a JAGS article titled Overdiagnosis of urinary tract infections by nursing home clinicians versus a clinical guideline.

In today’s podcast we talk with surgeon Samir Shah and Health Services Researcher Joel Weissman about a pair of JAGS articles they published on the outcomes of high risk surgery and advance care planning among persons with dementia. I mean, financially, the bulk of the American healthcare system is a fee-for-service system.

– @AlexSmithMD Here’s a link to an article about the Palliative Story Exchange. ** This podcast is not CME eligible. There’s obviously a lot of flaws in the healthcare system. And I turned to my dad and I said, I think mom needs palliative care. And she did have a primary care doctor.
