Perhaps
the most satisfying aspect of geriatrics for me is the
opportunity to meet the people who are the history of our
nation.”
Caring for older people is
something I really enjoy,” he says. “In fact, the more I do it,
the more I enjoy it.”
"I love all the intricate puzzle solving and the advocacy work
in geriatrics."
"I can better understand relationships between the patient and
the caregivers by visiting a home. You get to know patients
intimately at home. They let you into their homes -- even
knowing that you’ll see everything -- because they really need
you."
"Often, when you work with older people you stumble into a moment
of drama when you’re listening to them tell a story. It’s fine to
read history in books, but to talk with someone who’s lived it is
precious. That’s one of the joys of geriatric practice
“It’s extremely satisfying that at Erickson, we were able to prove that if seniors lived in a socially supportive, active environment, with quality onsite medical care, the outcomes would be superior and the costs would be dramatically reduced.”
"[I] realized that I wanted to know how older people differ from younger people and that I wanted to be an advocate for them."
