Q. #frailty In it's purest form w/force issues aside. Should geriatricians see all ages? Or frail >75yrs as well as all non frail >90yrs?

Thinking of my disabled brother with Duchenne & my Granny aged 98 with dementia, their needs were very different.
we see young frail people in need in #hospitalathome but are OK to say no when diff specialty better

I think one of the problems is that "young frail" don't have better specialty.
-
I increasingly think if people cared for my needs I wouldn't care where I was - just get me better!

indeed, but docs best at looking after probs they see often and services best when targeted

either GIM or MOE, but neither of these is an ideal fit.

Very true indeed. The rehab docs don't do the acute episodes. Though maybe they should?
