Medical students and other students of geriatric medicine will also find it beneficial for their revision.Nationally and globally, populations are ageing. We are seeing an increasing number of elderly patients being admitted to the hospital for a variety of medical problems. The government is placing increasing emphasis on recruiting, training and retaining generalist clinicians (hospitalists) who need to take care of elderly patients in hospitals. As such, this book will be an extremely practical resource for hospitalists around the world. Using a quiz format on a background of an evolving patient scenario, the reader is led on an exciting journey to discover one's gaps in diagnostic and management aspects and to learn useful approaches and tips from our experts.
