Addressing a significant deficiency in pre-hospital educational literature for health care workers, this unique text focuses solely on the pre-hospital care of the elder patient with illness or injury. Based on real-world cases, it provides material relevant to the work of the basic paramedic, and contains special sections on elder abuse, medical ethics, and living wills.
