The pendulum has swung too far.
Penalizing falls in the hospital has resulted in patients who aren’t allowed to get out of bed.
They get weaker, depressed, constipated, pressure ulcers and ultimately need SNF placement.
Ambulation should be viewed as a key to healing.
@awesomebrandi This evaluator seems to be under qualified.
If that were me I would launch a for@al complaint against them for their insensitive and uneducated comments.
And get a re evaluation by someone who is actually qualified.
Nothing like putting your patients hair in a bun for them, only to come in the next day to read “procedure cancelled, patient apparently has lice.”

I had a resident today sheepishly ask permission about taking time off to attend his brother’s wedding.
This was my response. I’m working on applying it to my own life but struggling.

You may be hearing the argument that before the rise of modern commercial infant formula, babies all ate breastmilk and everything was great. As a historian of infant feeding, let me tell you why that’s not true.
But! Let’s not demonize formula because of an imagined past in which everyone breastfed. In the ACTUAL past, babies fucking starved and died of disease. Babies who would have survived today, because they would have had access to safe, nutritionally complete formula.
