Let's dissect the popular new term: “lived experience.” A term gaining traction.

You and I have no idea what the "lived experience" is of a person we don't know. A quick visual scan to infer someone’s “lived experience” is essentially rapid stereotyping.

@daveisatwit @PeteWhite5000 @AddisonLeeCabs Looks like it could have been crosswind if you look at the trees on the left? 🤷‍♂️

When patients say their pain is greater than 10/10, what they are really communicating is a fear that you won’t understand the impact it is having on their life.

Said it before and I will say it again...

BMI reduction (in those who are overweight) is easily the biggest bang for buck treatment for OA.

Followed by topical NSAIDs

Poor medical management is rife and needs to stop. Let's start treating our patients better.

Three things really pissed me off this week. 1. 69 yr old lady Tripped fell and landed on knees - pain and worried- ref by GP to orthop Offered 2x TKR - when she didn’t want that got PRP - when that didn’t work - booked for 9k stem cell Rx. Her friend suggested she see a physio!!

A fascinating 5 minute thread.....highlights the importance of detailed history taking and being thorough in assessment

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

A young girl & her father enters OPD
14y and is deeply jaundiced

Teary eyed, her father requests ONLY one thing
"She's advised liver transplant. We are poor. Can you please help us avoid it?"

I look at the girl the father
& brace myself for the worst case I'd ever seen...

New data for hip replacements.......lasting twice as long as first thought. Main take away - keep your muscles strong and stable long after surgery

[Physio Network @PhysioNetwork]

🗣 "Don’t have a hip replacement yet you’re too young, you’ll need a replacement after 10 years…"

🦿 Total hip replacements.. ⤵️

Think of physical activity as a medication, you need to take it regularly: perhaps even daily, whether it be a home exercise programme or a training programme. Take things slow and steady if you are new to it and build up your activity levels gradually,

@ProfTimNoakes It is working, its preventing hospital admissions. Its not and never has been an "immunisation". Everyone will get it, just not as severe!

@kfjnordin A consultant physio in a hospital where I used to work still assesses, diagnoses and treats this shite! Naturally, all the new grads are taught this and the cycle continues 🤦‍♂️
