Geriatric practice in Lucknow

Dr Shukla talks of a five minutes solution to avoid serious health problems of elders.
For example: if the elderly complains of pain in the abdomen, then the reasons behind this could be gastritis, constipation, change of season and may be a mild cardiac arrest. In case the first three reasons have been ruled out, the fourth means emergency. Similarly, if the elderly is diabetic, a urinary infection or swelling in the feet hints when to take the person to the doctor.
