Humans of Healthcare: The Geriatrician

You might see a cardiologist for heart issues, a rheumatologist for arthritis, or an endocrinologist for diabetes. But as you age and have more complex health needs, you might need someone who is able to understand how to manage different medical issues in an ageing body. On this episode of Humans of Healthcare, we speak to consultant geriatrician Assoc Prof Dr Terence Ong about what exactly he does and why geriatricians matter.
