Experienced geriatricians Drs. Burton and Hall have decades of experience helping seniors navigate this country's complex health care system. They distill that knowledge here, providing you with the information you need to skillfully communicate with your health care providers. This book addresses such questions as: * Do I need a general physician or a specialist? *What does a geriatrician do? *What screening exams should I undergo? *What is the best way to take my medications?
