@GeriMedMD @SrsAdvocateBC Pharmacies are asked to do a lot without adequate compensation. They would do twice daily dispense in the past, but not anymore in the area I work in. No fee
for injecting insulin.
When are home support rates going to be lowered for low income seniors. It’s unethical

@Inde_pendant1 @GracieLouant @atrupar I was 15, my dtr was 14, there is a trend to earlier. This man is full of lies.

@DrSuneelDhand You represent what appalls me about the US, divisiveness. Getting clicks from a tragic event. Can you reference these extremists or is your goal just yo sew distrust?
RIP Charlie Kirk and all the other people murdered in the USA due to gun violence.

@TomZillich @Neilyoung @VancityJilly @LiveNation i hear long line to get in

@AngelaRayner @Keir_Starmer about time. The process is ridiculous in the UK. Also you shouldnt be able to change your mind at exchange.

@elonmusk I find the algorithm has ruined this site for me. All right wing garbage. Thanks. I loved twitter when I was doing my masters.

[The Geriatric Emergency Department Collaborative @theGEDC]

To prepare nurses at every experience level to meet the needs of vulnerable older adults, GEDC has developed numerous geriatric emergency medicine-specific modules that are free, relevant to practice and provide contact hours (CNE). Access them here: https://t.co/fGY6STSzQI

The business case for rehabilitation in older people is compelling. Future research should address the evidence gaps around older people who have been excluded from studies due to cognitive impairment or socio-economic or cultural inequalities. https://t.co/LP2fftpV7m #BGSRehab

Love this, even better with a plain language version.

Training our muscles can keep our brain in shape as well.

@HeatherTelford4 @Impark I have same problem. Received an email asking to call number on the notice that doesn’t accept calls. I called via Hangtag and now I’ve been on hold for 30 minutes.
Did you get it sorted out

[Jackie C @justjax519]

@SrsAdvocateBC I did talk about ACP yesterday twice, just forgot it was ACP day.

@Asta_de_B @CBCNews we have a world leading rate of MAID. I don’t think your comment is well informed.

[Jackie C @justjax519]

@MalokK97861047 @CBCNews we have a very high uptake of MAID, massive per capita in comparison to California and Switzerland. We need to provide care as well as MAID options

Is it possible to get back twitter style X. The feed for me is useless now. I have to type names to look at the content I am interested in.

@truthwellout live innBC. Have a newer heat pump. It’s been to -14, no issues. Yes it’s using more energy, but NG usage would also be way higher too. Doesn’t get that cold here

[Jackie C @justjax519]

@GeriSoc maybe don’t post this so many times. Content was really good before, now it’s slim pickings. Prefer to scroll less. Thanks

Older adults boarding overnight in the ED associated with increased mortality in @JAMANetworkOpen research https://t.co/NhZrJxwY4m critically appraised by @TheSGEM & @SAEMEBM https://t.co/XttGyasKwl including the "So what?" implications for healthcare systems to consider #GeriEM

[Jackie C @justjax519]

@bad_batch_rex NW does have a plan supporting seniors in extreme heat and cold along with other cities.

[Jackie C @justjax519]

@CrystalSeahorse @ChristineGuent8 @bcndp @jjhorgan @adriandix @mikefarnworthbc You can make this a political issue- (not helpful), but I doubt a conservative government would have been more compassionate. Listen to the UK covid inquiry.

[Jackie C @justjax519]

@DrMCGregoire @drpaulwinston Worse than that is the extended stretcher care in hallways.
