Literary notes about geriatric (AI summary)
The term "geriatric" appears in literature with a range of applications, from clinical and scientific contexts to cultural commentary. In several texts, it is used in a straightforward, technical sense—identifying procedures like tub baths and cleansing enemas for older patients in medical or nursing scenarios ([1], [2], [3], [4]). Conversely, the word also surfaces in discussions that blend commentary on age with broader social observations, such as contrasting the age demographics of opera audiences versus Broadway audiences ([5]) or even critiquing hierarchical structures in publishing ([6]). Additionally, it is integrated into discourse that examines the implications of age within cultural or scientific frameworks, highlighting aspects of both therapeutic art approaches and sound geriatric science ([7], [8]), with a touch of irony when discussing the likelihood of age-related issues in certain civilizations ([9], [10]).
