Answer 1

1) geriatrics deals with healthcare of old people.

Students should choose to enter geraitrics because elderly people needs care and both emotional and physical care as they to are humans and have feelings.Because they are old it does not mean that they are not living.

2) Some younger people feels afraid to provide care to elderly people because they may not follow procedures by taking medicine,and they are always angry,should provide complete care in patients who suffers from diseses like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's etc,and they will completely depend upon us.so on it goes but the truth is its their fear of dependency,depression, loneliness​ which causes them anger.But with proper care and emotional strength they will strive in their treatment.And providing care for fragile persons who cannot care for themselves will be a achievement to us which is equal to immortality.So one should enter into this branch of study.
