    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Geriatric medicine is challenging – people present with multiple problems at the same time, and case studies provide a good way to discuss this complexity. This book describes 30 cases of older people with frailty presenting to acute medical services. They cover a wide range of common presentations and management issues and explore the interplay of acute illness, multimorbidity, and physical and cognitive impairments. The book focuses on medicine optimisation, shared decision-making and advance care planning using key test results and imaging studies. Management options are discussed where disease-specific guidelines may not provide the solution when treating older adults.


    Key Features:



    • Provides real-world complex examples with consequent nuanced decision-making.

    • Uses case studies to address interactions of acute illnesses, polypharmacy and physical and cognitive impairments for clinicians and trainees in geriatric and general internal medicine and general practitioners.

    • Discusses patient-centred management – balance of risks and benefits of different options, including shared decision-making and advance care planning.
