I’ll make the important distinction between gastritis – which is diagnosed only via endoscopy – and dyspepsia, the term best used to describe the symptoms many patients experience. Again, otherwise the diagnosis is based on history and physical examination. You want to take a good history on feeding or dietary habits.

I just thought there was so much we could learn and offer from every sense, from the clinical point of view, from the family point of view, from prevention, from treatment, epidemiology, et cetera. Physical activity is a big one. One might argue they still are. So, that’s how I ended up there. That’s really falling apart.

The decision of how frequently you should get a cholesterol screening largely hinges on various risk factors such as your age, sex, health conditions, lifestyle factors, and family history. More frequent screening may be necessary if a child has obesity, diabetes, or a family history of high cholesterol or cardiac disease.

But often what we’re talking about is this experience that we can describe physically inside of our body, the sensation that we’re having as we’re anticipating that things may go wrong or badly in some kind of way. So it tends to be future oriented and tends to show up as a physical sensation in our body.

So when we encounter anger clinically, when we’re in an encounter with a patient and their family, what are perhaps three steps, and we have the three step model for how we can look within ourselves and respond. What feelings do we have toward the patient and toward their families? And countertransference is everywhere.

So how physically active the patient is, how much time they spend awake, how much they’re eating, how much care they need, that type of thing.

The pneumonia could get treated, but I think geriatricians, actually, were well aware of iatrogenic complications of care and quality gaps, even well before the IOM reports of the late 1990s and the like.

Eric Widera reminds us of the history of the Goldwater Act created by the American Psychological Association in the 1960s which states that psychiatrists should refrain from diagnosing public figures, and the American Medical Association code of ethics which likewise discourages armchair diagnosis (rule established in 2017).
