Should be titled “GET THIS BOOK NOW!”“GREAT book for my new job…I’ve been an NP to college students and in urgent care, but this is the first time I’ve been a nurse practitioner for a geriatric house call practice and this book is perfect. I am really enjoying the format, the timely and research backed treatment protocols and the compassionate, well written style for advising anyone in the business of taking care of old folks!
