The treatment of old people is more hazardous and complex than that of younger subjects. This book is a practical guide to the management of aged patients, looking at the theoretical, general and organizational aspects of the subject.
No one should be denied the relief of suffering or the control of serious disease on the grounds of age, but the treatment of old people is more hazardous and complex than that of younger subjects. This book is a practical guide to the management of aged patients. The first seven chapters deal with the theoretical, general and organizational aspects of the subject. The next 13 cover those conditions which are particularly prevalent in advanced age, and, with the aid of numerous tables to facilitate reference, provide guidance concerning their management based on the author's extensive experience.
