Episode Description 
 
On this episode of the Pain Pod, we welcome Dr. DeLon Canterbury CEO of GeriatRx to discuss the intersection of pain management, our geriatric patient population, and the 2023 AGS Beers Criteria Update.  
 
Let’s face it, if you’re not geriatric (65yo or even more experienced), you hope to be one day! So, this episode is right up everyone’s alley.  
 
A discussion of Centurions (not the Roman soldiers, rather those living to be at least 100yo)! 
 
Come one, come all, to the Pain Pod!!!

Geri Duty 2: Cracking Open the 2023 Beers Criteria | Pain Pod

One of the most common definitions of pain describes pain as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage.” When we are exposed to something that causes pain, if able, we quickly or reflexively withdraw. The sensory feeling of pain is called nociception.
