Abstract

Physicians unavoidably get involved with elderly patients' legal right in many situations and, without realizing it, can fall short or make serious errors. In this first installment of a two-part discussion, geriatrics editor-in-chief Robert N. Butler, MD, and a panel experienced in addressing older patients' medicolegal difficulties review some of the more common questions that arise.
