Description
Popular with generations of practitioners, Brocklehurst's Textbook of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology has been the definitive reference

growing patient population. Consistent discussions of clinical manifestations, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and more make reference
quick and easy, while over 255 illustrations compliment the text to help you find what you need on a given condition. Examples of the
