This practical guide to management of elderly patients has been considerably expanded and thoroughly revised. As a pocket-sized manual, it will prove invaluable to junior hospital doctors, GP trainees, medical students and nursing staff. The British Medical Journal said of the first edition, `,This Pocket Consultant is an excellent introduction to the art of caring for the elderly ...and a useful tool for enabling the doctor to disentangle the problems of multiple pathology that are a stimulating feature of the clinician's work with the elderly ...this book should be a useful guide on how to deal with the ever-increasing geriatric problems. I shall not be leaving my copy for my successor because I feel that it will be invaluable to me.'.
