Abstract
Aging is a complex condition, a process where, similar to a carpet design, multiple threads are inextricably interwoven. The management of the older aged person involves management of complexity, an individualized approach to each patient that may not be accommodated in classical guidelines or pathways.
In this chapter we analyze the decisional process in a complex clinical case to identify the elements on which medical decisions should be based.
