[quote=Anonymous]Depending on their age and health condition, I think your average 2 options: (1) hires a care manager who can take your loved one to some of these appointments and be your eyes and ears; or (2) work with their PCP to better coordinate and prioritize all the specialists. Specialists have tunnel vision and are not looking out for the whole person. Plus, med malpractice has made then very risk adverse and they want to constantly follow up. However, it’s not always in the best interest of a geriatric patient. The PCP should be able to come up with a more manageable and reasonable plan. If the PCP is not a geriatrician, you may want to consider switching to one. [/quote]
