Is that because they have higher rates of chronic conditions like diabetes, coronary disease, tobacco use, things like that, or is there something else that’s going on? And then if, let’s say they plan to switch to you as their primary care provider, then there are a few steps that you can take.

And, you know, I really leaned in from my perspective as a primary care geriatrician to hearing from what my patients and their family caregivers are asking me for and asking me about, and they’re asking me about how they can prepare. Advance care planning is a start. Hillary: I certainly agree lots to think about.

And in my medical training, becoming a primary care doctor, I realized that older adults, women and men were having a lot of these same symptoms. Eric: Not Scott the researcher, but Scott the primary care provider who has to see another patient in 15 minutes. And so that was one, very interesting to me. Scott: Yeah.

To start with assessing all these syndromes and palliative care related problems and geriatric syndromes, so that we can create interventions that allow people to receive the cutting edge therapies. A surgeon who is seeing a patient and detects diabetes out of control is not going to say, “Damn the diabetes, get them to the OR now.”

Why would CBT work for neuropathic pain and diabetes differently than it would work for neuropathic pain and cancer? Most palliative care clinicians would refer back to their primary care provider and not change their hydrochlorothiazide dose or add another agent. Why would that be? Most oncologists would say no.

They need to become experts in understanding the biology of Alzheimer’s or all cognitive conditions and marry those two things because we are going to be either in the primary care clinic doing this or in the specialty care clinics doing it because geriatrics is in both. I can’t quarrel conceptually with it.

Or is the aging process and development of serious illness so similar to people who are not living with HIV that we can sort of move on and consider it, you know, sort of like diabetes, for example. I mean, treatment is really best done in a chronic or continuity setting, whether it’s in a primary care setting or some other.
