Current Geriatric Diagnosis and Treatment (LANGE CURRENT Series) - Essential Medical Reference for Elderly Care Professionals | Perfect for Clinics, Hospitals & Geriatric Practices

I read this book cover-to-cover before my geriatrics fellowship, and WOW! what a difference that made. I was already a faculty member, teaching Family Medicine, before my mid-career Geriatrics fellowship. Our Family Medicine department's library was woefully understocked in geriatrics - having only an ancient, thick, impenetrable gerontology tome......so I left my dog-eared, underlined copy for my former students/residents, and bought a new one when I left for the fellowship. Six years later, I still refer to it regularly, but more often I refer to it to get the basics of geriatrics across to the other doctors I work with. It's a great book, but as a geriatrics consultant, other doctors naturally and appropriately expect a higher level of information from me. That said, it is a TREMENDOUS book, I heartily recommend it to all doctors and nurses and students of medicine and nursing.
