What is a geriatrician?
A geriatrician is something more than a physician who simply cares for old people. The geriatrician should, above all, be well grounded in internal medicine, have a genuine fondness for the elderly and their problems, and be experienced in neurology, psychiatry and rehabilitation medicine. A possible additional role is that of organizer and coordinator of health services for old people.
