| Annotation | Reichel's 'Care of the elderly' remains the pioneering text for the practising physician confronted with the unique problems of an increasingly ageing population. Dr William Reichel's formative text is designed as a practical and useful guide for health specialists from medical students to practising physicians. This book is not a collection of sub-specialty chapters, but rather emphasizes the clinical management of the geriatric patient with simple to complex problems. The editors have reviewed every chapter and have included the most up-to-date advances in the care of older patients. New chapters include hormonal therapy in post-menopausal women, drug therapy for Alzheimer's sufferers, alternative medicine, the chronic understaffing of nursing homes, management of delirium, and ethical issues. Comprehensive and written for any clinicians caring for older patients (including general practitioners, nurse practitioners, geriatricians, and allied health practitioners), this well-known text aims to provide practical and trusted advice.
