Elder fraud has reached epidemic proportions – a geriatrician explains what older Americans need to know
To put that whopping figure in context, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour recently made news as the first concert tour ever to earn $1 billion. As a geriatrician — a doctor who cares for people over 65 years of age — I believe elder fraud has reached an epidemic scale. My patients often tell me about being scammed. The consequences can be worse than just losing money. The experience is traumatic for many, with some victims feeling deep shame and self-doubt in the aftermath. This can interfere with their relationships, erode their trust in others and harm their mental and physical health. Posted by: Besoeker 2024-06-18 |
