Wash.Post, Jan/17: "This physician wants her patients to use fewer medications"


[La...]

Recommended Posts

Good to see a doctor who wants to prescribe fewer medications and even deprescribe to help her patients off some.  Figures that medical school teaches students how to prescribe but, not how to safely get off these prescriptions.  Scary that 90% of people in nursing homes are on 5 or more meds, too.  Glad the article mentioned benzos as one to try to deprescribe.  Thanks Lapis  :)

Yes, I was pleased to see this one too, BurnedOut. I do hope other doctors read such articles and follow the lead of wise doctors like this one.
