When we say people “look frail” we mean they look thin and unwell. This isn’t the same as frailty. All of us who are thin in old age (some of us are thin in young or middle age!) are at risk of being dismissed as frail if we come into hospital tired and unwell
@TheRealFlups Omg! I’m glad you dodged that bullet!!! Hope he finds the perfection that doesn’t exist because there will be something also wrong with a skinny chick!!
Thank you so much to all the attendees today at the Make Dying Better CPD Symposium. The Recordings will be available on the 15th of March 2023. You Can Purchase the Recordings at https://t.co/nVRmlamSBn #MAKEDYINGBETTER#CPD#LearningFromDying@DrLindaDykes@drkathrynmannix
We have a population who don't know about Ordinary Dying, and HCPs who have never really been trained to have the conversations in a way that people need. @drkathrynmannix#MakingDyingBetter
I have learnt so much and broadened my thinking and knowledge about EOL! The amazing @drkathrynmannix looked at history and how it was normal to die at home and the family were used to seeing the signs and symptoms of a natural peaceful death. Let’s bring that back!
@MichaelJackByrn@deirdrelanglang@drkathrynmannix Lovely Kathryn was great on our End of Life teams meeting and gifted us this amazing book! Has opened my eyes! I think everyone should read it!
