2. History
Modern geriatrics in the United Kingdom really began with the
"Mother" of Geriatrics, Dr. Marjorie Warren. Warren emphasized that
rehabilitation was essential to the care of older people. She
developed the concept that merely keeping older people fed until
they died was not enough- they needed diagnosis, treatment, care
and support. She found that patients, some of whom had previously
been bedridden, were able to gain some degree of independence
with the correct assessment and treatment.
Another "hero" of British Geriatrics is Bernard Isaacs, who described
the "giants" of geriatrics: incontinence, immobility, impaired intellect
and instability. Isaacs asserted that if you look closely enough, all
common problems with older people relate back to one of these
giants
