| Annotation | The contribution of Joseph Sheldon to geriatric medicine in the West Midlands in the immediate post-war period continues to be recognised, and "Ageing and Health" are serialising his 1948 report, "The social medicine of old age: report of an inquiry in Wolverhampton". Sheldon touched on topics which are familiar today, and Chapter 2 of his report comprises a description, item-by-item of the various morbid conditions found in the survey. (RH). |
