Balakrishnan Kichu R. Nair: Learning Geriatrics Through Case Studies

And those who read this book, looking forward to experiencing a little miracle in senior care, are really explaining how geriatricians actually evaluate, treat and manage elderly patients. In particular, we're starting with the example of the case and presenting the context of the ritual and how to actually manage it, and finally giving the results of the treatment, and thereby improving our understanding of aging by showing how it actually works. There are lots of geriatric books around, but in many cases there are a lot of diseases that are common to the elderly, and it's hard to learn about gerontology. Because gerontology is a science that focuses on the diseases of the elderly and also on the characteristics of each person, the quality of life. But this book is very good at showing us what the philosophy of geriatrics is, why gerontology isn't just an extension of my science. In particular, it deals with the essence of geriatric medicine that is not divided by disease but by describing in detail the problems common and important to old people: aging, subsidy, disability, loss of weight, delirium, cognitive function. These are problems that doctors in general cannot diagnose and manage well, and often they give up on management as ‘that's what they’re old enough,’ which is a big difference in function and weather response to how they manage these syndromes.
