Simple Ways To Prevent Falls In Older Adults - NPR.org

Read the full article:  Simple Ways To Prevent Falls In Older Adults - NPR.org


According to the article:
"What are some of the interventions you've used that can help seniors?
You can do so many things. First of all, I tell everybody you've got to do some balance training. Tai chi is probably the best exercise to prevent falls, but whatever works for you. And, interestingly, just walking does not reduce your risk for falling. So a lot of doctors will say, "Just get out and walk 20 minutes every day, and that'll keep you safe. That'll help you stay healthy." Walking is great for your heart; it's great for your brain; it's great for lots of it. But in order to really reduce your risk for falls, you've got to do something specific to balance."

Doctors Cash In on Drug Tests for Seniors, and Medicare Pays the Bill - WSJ - WSJ


Read the full article: Doctors Cash In on Drug Tests for Seniors, and Medicare Pays the Bill - WSJ - WSJ:

"Doctors are testing seniors for drugs such as heroin, cocaine and “angel dust” at soaring rates, and Medicare is paying the bill.

It is a roundabout result of the war on pain-pill addiction.

Medical guidelines encourage doctors who treat pain to test their patients, to make sure they are neither abusing pills nor failing to take them, possibly to sell them.

Now, some pain doctors are making more from testing than from treating."
