4.0 out of 5 stars not for physicians, 29 July 2008

By truestar "a" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Essentials of Clinical Geriatrics (Paperback)

Good for students, medical students or non physicians,but too elementary otherwise. That is it; I am a physician and never used this after buying it!
