As the American population continues to age, primary care physicians are finding themselves becoming de facto geriatricians. Three primary care physicians and two geriatricians discuss the impact this can have on a private practice: the rewards, the frustrations, the new skills required, the old prejudices set aside. They also explore why one of the physicians is no longer practicing geriatrics.
