Elderly patient gets treated successfully at Wockhardt Hospitals in Nagpur by Dr. Swapna Khanzode, Consultant – Internal Medicine and Critical Care.
Considering his age, this patient needed dedicated geriatric care. Geriatrics, or geriatric medicine, is a specialty that focuses on the health care of elderly people. It aims to promote health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities in older adults.
“It comprises medical treatment as well as affectionate and compassionate care from an efficient team of doctors, nursing staff, and housekeeping staff.
We at wockhardt truly believe in “Life wins” irrespective of age. As rightly said, age is just a number”, informed Dr. Swapna Khanzode.
“This gentleman was very sick when he came, was treated timely, and responded very well to the treatment and care. Such elderly patients do not present with conventional signs and symptoms. For eg, in case of infections, they might not present with fever and conventionally associated symptoms. This is because their immune system is weak. Hence any infection, if not identified, can go unnoticed or symptoms can be misleading. It is important to understand that timely identification, and diagnosis of the medical problem in geriatric patients is of the utmost importance” informed Dr. Swapna.
The family of this patient was extremely thankful to the entire team of Wockhardt Hospitals to his take utmost care and contributing to saving his life.
