A Geriatrician’s Perspective on an Aging Joe Biden

For almost 40 years I practiced internal and geriatric medicine in my own office and in emergency departments, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation units, and long-term care communities. This means that I have had thousands of face-to-face interactions with folks from all walks of life: I’ve observed them, diagnosed and treated their conditions, and monitored their medical journeys over years, even decades. I have spent a lifetime paying attention to people’s medical needs.
