How to make your 80s miserable: osteopenia and osteoporosis

A down-to-earth primer on women, osteopenia, and osteoporosis: what we should be doing, our (embarrassingly unoriginal) excuses for not doing it, with a quick peak at the daily life of a doc.

I like Mary Braun Bates’ style. She’s an internal medicine doc in New Hampshire “puzzling out what it means to be human,” with a background in both palliative and hospice medicine. IMO, the latter put your day—and your patient’s—in perspective. Two easy-reading parts:

• Part 1: Breaking the news about osteopenia

• Part 2: The bare bones about osteoporosis

Enjoy!
