(Not) Saying Goodbye to Dr. Jeff

For the past 12 years, Caring for the Ages readers have looked forward to the “Dear Dr. Jeff” columns. In his dozens of articles, Jeffrey Nichols, MD, CMD, addressed issues both common and controversial, public and personal, clinical and operational. “I loved what he had to say — always practical wisdom with a bit of an edge at times. He is a good communicator and listener, which is important for a writer and a clinician. It’s no wonder that his column has been so consistently popular,” said Karl Steinberg, MD, CMD, HDMC, president of AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine and former editor in chief of Caring.
