Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article about a report out from the government. The report states that the use of antipsychotic drugs to sedate the elderly in nursing homes has gone down. Advocacy groups contend that although down the percentage is still at 16%. These groups state that these homes are using these drugs in an off label fashion. The reason is to control the patients so they can get by with less staff to save money.
