The fifth edition of this widely used book by caregivers brings to you
updated and revised content, built on the basic understanding that
medicine does not work in a vacuum, but rather alongside other
disciplines to provide the environment for a healthy and fulfilling long
life. Edited by alumni and senior faculty at McGill University, with
international contributions, this book advocates the achievement of
better, longer, satisfying, and more productive lives for older persons.
It is a helpful resource for physicians, professional caregivers,
therapists, students, and residents in medical and nursing disciplines,
who care for our burgeoning older population and need to know what to
look for and when to consult specialists.
Key Features:
- Follows a uniform structure with many chapters having a hypothetical
vignette for instructional purposes and with the clinical chapters
detailing the features and diagnosis of given conditions, along with
possible management protocols specific to afflicted older individuals.
- Builds on the success of the previous four editions to provide
high-quality content from international experts for physicians and other
caregivers in the field.
- Provides possible management for pressing problems, including the
nursing home challenge, pandemics such as COVID, and precision therapy
for cancer.
