Summary:
We all age at a different pace, yet all too often the health-care system defines us as statistics. Medical ageism can mean ailments go untreated - or over treated - simply because we're "getting older." Renowned geriatrician Mark Lachs believes it doesn't have to be that way. Never before has such a well-qualified author offered a more comprehensive guide to understanding and avoiding the medical pitfalls most likely to cause us harm.
