Not only does this podcast cover our Special Section on Controversies in post-acute and long-term care, it is also our 25th anniversary! Ms. Kaldy has been with Caring since the beginning, and joins to reminisce with Dr. Steinberg (Caring's editor emeritus) about Caring's journey from 1999 to today. Additionally, Ms. Kaldy wrote this month's cover story on direct-to-consumer marketing, and what to do when a patient asks for a drug by name.

Dr. Galik also discusses an article about when it’s appropriate to prescribe anticonvulsants, and her own article questioning whether or not dementia special care facilities/units are successful.
