Geriatric Medicine for Old-Age Psychiatrists by Alistair Burns

This up-to-date digest of current medical problems will aid the reader in interpretation of investigations, which are increasingly requested. It provides guidance for the first line of management of patients. It is written primarily by an experienced geriatrician, informed by an old-age psychiatrist; a unique combination of author perspectives that results in a valuable and insightful text.

"…includes detailed and useful explanations…an interesting view of geriatrics."
-Doody's Reviews

'This book could be a useful work of reference on wards and in day hospitals.' - Kalmen Kafetz, Age and Ageing 2006; 35: 454

"This book provides an interesting view of geriatrics. It gives a distinctly U.K. perspective on medical decision-making in functionally incompetent patients in the clinical vignettes."

"A number of tables detail useful differential diagnoses, red flags, and the approach to the sick older person. A chapter devoted to vignettes includes detailed and useful explanations of the points raised."
