is getting a geriatric docter helpful?
FIL has severe heart issues (multiple bypass operations, pacemaker, defib) and sees a heart specialist. Also has other issues as well. At what point is it helpful to have a geriatric doctor? Do they just take the place of a GP?
FIL is moving near to us, so leaving all his old Doctors two states away. What's the best transition?
If it matters, DH is an only child and FIL is 78; I'd be shocked if he's with us more than a year or two. He has private insurance that seems pretty good; I don't know the details.
