Description
The new edition has seen extensive revisions, reflecting recent advances in the specialty. A much terser style is employed with a greater reliance on tables. Packed full of facts, this volume contains more information than the student needs for his/her finals and almost as much as the candidate requires for his/her Membership or the Diploma in Geriatric Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians of London.
