Video from Uri Burstyn (aka Helpful Vancouver Vet) about some particular care items relevant to older cats. It's a bit lengthy but I find it interesting. as I have found most HVV videos. He used to post them frequently; I hadn't seen one from him in a long time and the start of this one touches on that. This one is from a few months ago.

Are you fucking kidding me right now!?
There’s now a #geriatric edition of the bachelor called the Golden Bachelor. Why?! And why is there a commercial during #MNF for it?

Seriously?! Again?! These people need to let go of power and retire. #Feinstein #McConnel are prime examples of #Geriatric #Politicians need to retire. This is serious business. These people can’t be running the country if they aren’t able to do so physically or mentally.
LEAVE!!!

I’m decorating the walls with all your twitter bot accounts… Come on people, move across, that stuff is ludicrous! Where my current #geriatric #research at?

My birthday is coming up next week. I made you a wish list (of #geriatric drug trial enrollment needs). #AGS23

The population of people with severe chronic #kidney #disease grows older and often has more impairments than #renal

❓ how to perform #geriatric assessment in patients with end stage renal disease?

#dog #dogquestion my mom is in her 80's, lives independently in a condo with a porch, has lots of friends in the building and gets irregular, massive bouts of depression with a little bit of psychosis thrown in. She's decided that she wants a small dog for companionship and I support that with some caveats. I'd really like her to get a breed that might be inclined to alert on her mood changes. Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing?

We published our city-wide #Geriatric #POCUS curriculum where we trained fellows from 3 programs. Grateful for @templemedschool @TempleGIM for the support and my amazing colleagues @KristineSwartz3 & @Penn_Geriatrics who enthusiastically sent their fellows https://bit.ly/3XOPZqD

@godpod Sure, but even if it's an "honest mistake", why does the USA keep putting #geriatrics in the most powerful and stressful job? Biden may be a well meaning #geriatric, while Lord Dampnut was evil, stupid and geriatric, but this is really a job for a younger person.

Relevant for older people: #kidney patients opting for #dialysis have an overall lower mortality risk compared with patients opting for conservative #care.

➡️ Likely #frailty plays major role, #geriatric assessment helpful!

About #geriatrics: older patients are very diverse, so as a doctor it is so important to look at more than age and comorbidity alone!
➡️ #geriatric assessment includes (at least) #cognition and #mood, #social network and support, physical functioning, #independence.

I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind
