Here’s me showing I #ChooseGeriatrics at work today!!
It's #ChooseGeriatrics week! All week, we'll be sharing blogs and videos from our members explaining why they #ChooseGeriatrics. It’s great to hear such inspiring stories, and hopefully, they will encourage more people to follow in their footsteps when choosing their specialty.

Person at my clinic. When I asked about their social circle. ‘I’m going to the funeral of my last friend this month’. Goodness. I had no words. They shared a memory and we both shared a tear. We often underestimate the reality and impact of loneliness on our older people.
