Developed to provide a source of clinically relevant material in geriatrics for medical care providers of older persons, this book uses clinical cases to provide a focused and relevant approach. Instead of long lists of diagnoses, examples of clinical thinking and problem diagnoses are provided.
This book is a case-based introduction to geriatric medicine, Rather than an exhaustive textbook approach, the authors use clinical cases to provide a rich, focused, and clinically relevant approach to common topics in the care of older persons. In place of long lists of diagnoses, this book features examples of clinical thinking, problems in diagnosis, and practical management tips. A key aim of this book is readability; the chapters are meant to tell a story that is both intriguing and instructive. Common topics such as cognitive decline, diabetes, stroke and congestive heart failure are covered. It is an ideal source for clinicians, doctors, or students-in-training, both those preparing for exams or those seeking a readable introduction to common clinical problems in geriatrics. Physicians and other care providers who have completed their training will find the book useful and clinically provocative as they learn more and try to provide better care for their older patients.
This book is intended for training physicians, practising clinicians caring for older people, medical students in both preclinical and clinical years, gerontologists, health care providers with an interest in geriatrics.
