Management of Common Medical Problems of the Elderly in Plain (Non-Medical) Language - Paperback
by E. George Elias (Author)
It is the first of its kind where a physician is trying to communicate with the old people. Note, because of the short span of concentration, each disease and its present treatment was described in very short form and its present and futuristic therapy. Some emphasis was placed on future of medical treatments with immunotherapy and Stem cell therapy in certain diseases.
I am a retired cancer surgeon. Former Professor of Surgery and Oncology at University of Maryland. I have authored 153 manuscript, 112abstracts, 54 newsletters, hand book of surgical oncology, 16 chapters in medical books and was invited as visiting professor for over 130 times. After the death of my wife, I spent over 10 months in assisted living facility and I observed and talk to the old population with regard to their diseases and disabilities. They mostly are hard of hearing and seeing and are of a very short period of concentration. Most of them have no computers or access for one and most of them they do not understand why they are being treated. This when I got the idea for this monograph.
