Get psyched for the Geriatrics Literature Update at #AGS24! My wife Cindy (pictured bottom left) made one prop already. Can you guess the song and parody? For the uninitiated, here’s a view of a prior update: youtu.be/XTtE5DDf0Fw?si=5uEx…

I love it when a leading organization chooses health and health care over caution, tradition and all things that too often limit the impact of medical organizations.
I hope many more will follow suit.
Bravo @NEJM!

Treatment of home care workers during COVID should provoke outrage. We need regulatory change to support these skilled professionals.
A large proportion of home health workers are women of color and immigrants. Allison notes that their poor treatment has its genesis in structural racism. The findings of @mad_sters is a call to action. We need structural reforms /7
