In the most comprehensive review to date, nonpharmacologic interventions are shown to be more effective than medications for treatment of #agitation and #aggression in #dementia.

Michael has been a mentor to so many geriatricians, myself included. His caring and giving to all of those around him- patients, their families, colleagues and friends is unequalled. It is so fitting that Department of Medicine University of Toronto has renamed its award for Humanism in Medicine in his honour

Naming frailty but not grading it risks ageism. Frailty is heterogeneous; lumping people living with mild frailty and those with severe frailty (and enacting policies for "the frail") fails on its face. The goal is not rationing, but reducing risk that accords with preferences.

So great to see outpouring of recognition of Ed Etchells’ role modeling and mentorship — he was the one who introduced me to patient safety as a resident 15 yrs ago. Years later I still walk across the hall to get his advice. An incredible clinician and mentor!

Thank you to Dr. Ed Etchells for sharing this story a reminder of the power of words and that connecting with patients goes well beyond medical intervention. "Seven extraordinary words" video particularly fitting today on Remembrance Day RGP of Toronto

These are great resources for clinicians to provide to caregivers of older adults with frailty. Topics include caring for the caregiver, delirium, staying active, nutrition, pain, medication, bladder health, and social engagement. #sfCare rgps.on.ca/caregiving-str…
