Aging well frequently involves feeling your way blindly through a
complex medical world: dealing with multiple doctors, facing baffling
financial decisions, and figuring out whether you or a parent needs care
outside the home. "What Your Doctor Won't Tell You About Getting Older"
turns the lights on, illuminating potential pitfalls and showing a way
around them. This book is an indispensible survival guide, gathering all
the information you need to have but that too often doctors just don't
give you. Writing with great experience and good humor, renowned
geriatrician Mark Lachs explains how to choose your doctors, stay out of
the emergency room, plan financially for retirement, outfit your house
to stay safe, and, most important, how to have as many healthy years as
possible. -- Publisher Marketing
