Dear Readers: The book “Treat Me, Not My Age,” by Mark Lachs, M.D. is now out in paperback under the title “What Your Doctor Won’t Tell You About Growing Older: An Insider’s Survival Manual For Outsmarting the Heath-Care System.” Regardless of the title change – personally I preferred the original title – this book is a gem.
Lachs is the director of Cornell’s Center for Aging Research and Clinical Care, director of geriatrics for the New York-Presbyterian Healthcare System, chief of the Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology at Weill Medical College, and the Irene F. and I. Roy Psaty Distinguished Professor of Clinical Medicine.
