  • Sam, age 86, has been hospitalized twice in the past three years for bleeding duodenal ulcers. He stopped his Proton Pump Inhibitor because he read that it causes dementia and heart attacks…

In just one hour of time…discover the answers to these and many other GI dilemmas from expert Peter Buch, MD, AGAF, FACP.  Dr. Buch’s approach is case based, practical, very interactive and fun.  You are guaranteed to acquire new clinical tools and insights to help you address the unique GI challenges with your geriatric patients.
