For every retweet this receives, @ArleneDickinson is donating $1 (up to $10,000), to the @CalgaryFoodBank!

In times like these, the generosity and community-minded spirit of Calgarians is needed more than ever.

Every $1 in donations buys $5 in food.

The current role of an OT in ED/AMU/SSU:
We are still able to assess, complete functional ax, provide equipment, refer to community teams discharge plan as we previously have been doing. It is amazing to see so many of our elderly patient's getting better and returning home.

Our first response should always be kindness- terse judgements at triage are dangerous. What is so wrong with seeking care? Seriously. People are losing trust in medicine precisely because of experiences like this- treated first w suspicion instead of compassion. #healthcare

@COTFFCE @MaryForhan @ObesityCan And she is also a great mentor!! Training future OTs and researchers!❤️

There's a big diff b/w sarcopenic #obesity & high BMI, esp related to risks for surgery. Sarcopenic obesity involves low muscle mass, strength & function & is harder to diagnose than BMI alone. Read more from our fellow @KristineGodziuk https://t.co/sLCLPIN33Y

#WhoAreYouCallingFat
1. Fat-shaming, weight bias & stigma need to end. It harms people.
2. Obesity is complex and not just about food/movement.
3. Obesity treatment(s) should be available for those who choose to seek them.
4. Size does not equate health.
5. Live your life.
