Dr. Erika Altneu, geriatrician, talks with Adam Williams about the art and science of geriatric medicine. They talk about how she helps her patients pursue a good life and, when it’s time, a good death. They talk about the community connection and creative problem-solving that accompanies being a physician in a small, rural community versus a large urban area like Denver, which has more resources. Erika and Adam also talk about normalizing conversations about death as a matter of life in “death cafes,” and the who, what, when, where and how of the medical aid in dying process. Among other things.
