It only takes a second to think before you speak. Make a conscious choice to use people-first language as much as possible. Conveying empathy through your language makes a huge difference not only in #obesity communication-it enhances ALL communication. ❤️ Feels good to be kind.
"A secret in her biology" - a woman was genetically destined to develop Alzheimer's by age 50, but she didn't, and the reason why holds important clues to solving the Alzheimer's puzzle. https://t.co/yyRAKHDcLK
@ThePittNews Is there a way for TPN alums to find their archived stories as web posts and/or digital versions of the original issues? I’m looking for an article from Fall 2004 on Mrs. Rogers book signing byline Angela Hayes. Thanks!
One of the best stories I ever covered for @ThePittNews was when Mrs. Rogers and Mr. McFeely came to the Pitt book store. ❤️ what an honor! Glad to see the legend and message of kindness lives on!
Mr. McFeely wants you to donate your sweaters!
The beloved speedy deliveryman is at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh’s for the 20th annual Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood Sweater Drive.🧥
Following along #OW2019 ! Downloaded the app, followed the agenda each day, and now watching everyone enjoy the @ASMBSFoundation Gala! Best wishes for a successful meeting close and safe travels home. Thinking of you.
Helping patients address #obesity treatment can start with this ⬇️ Perhaps the conversation will be better received by patients if #weightloss is framed in the picture of overall health! Resources such as these guides can help navigate a difficult topic.
The health benefits of physical activity are proved and wide ranging, exceeding that of any drug. This #BMJEducation article offers a practical guide to help clinicians discuss physical activity within a consultation #MedEd https://t.co/piPU7UEWjh
Designating days and weeks for disease state awareness really helps keep the message of better health top of mind! Is there a full calendar of observances?
My Saturday nights have really changed since becoming a mom! Starting work on this presentation board for the Bday party tomorrow. Printed 100 pictures...No big deal 😂😂 #momlife#EverythingisElmo#artsandcrafts with pumpkin 🎃 beer 🍻
The winner of the Walter Pories Award at #BariatricSummit2019 is the prodigious @Jmortonmd who has made many major contributions to bariatrics. Now a leader in #ERAS. Joined by former winner @RaulRosenthalMD.
What timing!! I just planned my 2-year old’s Sesame Street birthday party (with 5 days notice) and my mother-in-law just suggested getting juice boxes for the kids! I said no-although I’m in the generation that grew up on them (Hi-C #EctoCooler, #anyone??) #90s#Childhood
#JuiceBoxes became a staple of millennial childhoods. Along with this "Humble Masterpiece" came a tripling of #obesity rates. Now juice is out, but obesity rates are more stubborn. New guidance from @eatright a host of others. #HealthyDrinksHealthyKids https://t.co/fq99T06zBn
Interesting points @TewksRD I especially like individualizing treatment and “acknowledging and addressing” biases. Likely easier to change among HCPs in bariatrics/ #obesity care than among those not in the field.
How do we improve the patient experience in bariatrics? The esteemed @TewksRD summarizes key points at #BariatricSummit2019. Wise words from a nutritional leader.
Development of GERD after #Bariatric sleeve gastrectomy is a real issue according to @RaulRosenthalMD at #BariatricSummit2019. He suggests using manometry before surgery to be aware of potential reflux concerns.
Instead of #fatshaming, it would be best to fight the #obesity epidemic by changing food environments, says Harvard Chan's @DrBleich https://t.co/mfgvoZb2l6
I still care about #obesity treatment even though it’s not my job anymore. I’m not a patient, surgeon, IH member, but somehow this field has captured my ❤️ To the amazing people I’ve met on this 10-yr journey: Let me help communicate that #obesityisadisease#TROA#NOCW2019
