Rethinking Aging

Examines health-care choices offered to aging Americans and argues that too often the choices serve to profit the provider rather than benefit the recipient, leading to the medicalization of everyday ailments and blatant overtreatment. Rethinking Aging arms readers with evidence-based insights that facilitate health-promoting decision making.

Examineaza optiunile de ingrijire a sanatatii oferite americanilor in varsta si sustine ca prea des alegerile servesc mai degraba la beneficiul furnizorului decat la beneficiul beneficiarului, ducand la medicalizarea afectiunilor cotidiene si la tratamentul excesiv flagrant. Repensarea imbatranirii inarmeaza cititorii cu informatii bazate pe dovezi care faciliteaza luarea deciziilor care promoveaza sanatatea.
