| Annotation | This case-based approach to geriatric medicine is suitable for all health professionals and trainees who provide care for older people. Illustrated with more than forty cases based on the authors' experience in clinical practice, the examples range from the healthy older person to those with advanced cognitive or physical impairments. Discussions are evidence based with extensive references, emphasizing differential diagnosis, atypical presentations in late life, age-appropriate medical management, interdisciplinary methods, and care in the context of different healthcare settings. The authors have distilled a wealth of practical and clinical experience in this area to produce a user-friendly, well-indexed guide to geriatric medicine, which can also be useful for courses in gerontology.
