Seeing the #DignityInRisk is an essential part of learning how to care for older people, especially those who live with #frsilty. By the way, do hashtags work on this platform?

It often seems more like geriatrics chose me. Either way, I went to medical school to become a geriatrician. So that’s working out OK…
