<p>Ope, we're back! Sorry for our lil hiatus as Patty was getting used to her new job. Well guess what? We did NOT hold back this episode. We talked with Geriatrician Dr. Emily Morgan on when to assess and communication tips, Occupational Therapist/certified driving rehab specialist Marisa Palandri for a backseat look on how driving rehab sessions work, and Social Worker Tessa Garcia McEwen on more communication tips for anticipated detours and possible potpholes, with how to have transportation replacement at the ready. We know that this is a gnarly topic because state guidelines differ, but we feel that it's important to have these ready to go for all patients.</p> <p><span class="citation-185">Disclaimer: Don't take any medical advice from this podcast</span> <span class= "citation-185 citation-end-185"><sup class="superscript" data-turn-source-index="4"> <!----></sup></span><span data-path-to-node="3,2">.</span> <span class="citation-184">Always consult with your own physician on your medical decisions, and this podcast is not affiliated with any universities</span><span data-path-to-node="3,6">.</span> <span class="citation-183">Thoughts and views are our own</span><span data-path-to-node="3,10">.</span></p> <p>Guest Bios:</p> <p><strong><span class="markakg9i39uq" data-markjs="true" data-ogac="" data-ogab="" data-ogsc="" data-ogsb="" data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Emily</span> <span class= "mark5gch3o3d6" data-markjs="true" data-ogac="" data-ogab="" data-ogsc="" data-ogsb="">Morgan</span>, MD</strong> is a graduate of Oregon Health and Science University Medical School, where she stayed on to complete her internal medicine residency, followed by a fellowship in geriatrics.
