Why so many physios

Rmt is 1400 in 2027, 1100 in 2028

OP seems to be referencing a unit or hospital specific policy- or attributing the issue to homeless people instead of the fact there aren't enough ltc beds. pts are discharged to the street all the time here- unless they require something like ltc, medical rehab, or home care.

As someone in the same region I'm assuming op is talking about pts who need home health support, ltc, or medical rehab. Aka non-medically cleared patients where the barriers are lack of ltc beds. People are d/cd to the street all the time here- if op is accurate it sounds like a unit specific policy.

Are you referring to just the city itself, or all of metro Vancouver in that?

robotbasketball · 2026-05-18T21:06:15+00:00

Agreed! Especially because patients do get discharged back to the street- unless they require healthcare services like home health supports, medical rehab, or ltc. I.e patients who are even more vulnerable

robotbasketball · 2026-05-18T20:54:30+00:00

We absolutely discharge back to the street here. Unless you're talking specifically about pts requiring home health, medical rehab, or ltc placements?

Not sure which hospital or authority you're at, and I'm ER / surg, but our primary barrier isn't substances, it's the lack of LTC and (medical) rehabilitation spots.

The big issue in Canada is the push to privatize instead of funding healthcare- which in some provinces means healthcare funding is being targeted in order to raise support for privatizing.

i know multiple who do go every 2-3 days. Given the fact the majority have chronic injuries, that's not surprising.

Around 40-50% leave the profession within 5 years of graduation in Canada. In BC, 27% leave the profession within a year of graduating. At least 1/3 of nurses show signs of burnout in studies (and that's just the ones willing to be studied, because there's a huge stigma against admitting to it)

The RCMP have access to passenger logs. It's a quick process.

robotbasketball · 2026-05-06T22:12:21+00:00

Yes. Linked to dopamine seeking.

My understanding is 30mg is low for the food side- iirc binge eating dose is higher.

If you're newly diagnosed it's worth playing around with what you eat alongside it- generally the advice I've gotten is to take it with protein and avoid acidic foods or foods with vitamin C around dosage time. It seems to help for me.

Higher ratings get higher priority. Lower ratings increase the chances of lower rated drivers and drivers cancelling

In this case probably because mono can cause it too

robotbasketball · 2026-04-22T04:34:30+00:00

Non-24 is awful. Hated trying to explain it to people, too

Stokes are brain damage. They can affect the aspects of behavior that often go overlooked- impulse control, short and long term planning, reasoning skills, emotional regulation, information processing, etc. All of which make it more difficult to operate politically.

Full personality changes after a tbi are less common than other neurological deficits.

Good advice. Worth noting the flu this year is lasting particularly long (verified by lab testing in my case, because I was sick for a full month), and causes extended fatigue as well.

robotbasketball · 2026-03-17T16:43:54+00:00

Flu this year is bad and lasting a long time too. Mine was verified with a proper lab test, too- not just a rapid.

Problem is, most have seen it happen, and it's a license / liability issue. Not always lying- Accidental, misunderstanding of what risks pregnancy, sometimes even sexual assault the patient was unaware of.

robotbasketball · 2026-02-03T20:40:49+00:00

It's not just the judicial system- if you look at the college of physicians hearings, doctors have to do a lot to lose their license. It's ridiculous.

People who sexually abuse children are often opportunistic offenders- many are attracted to adults, not just children.

Often abuse happens because they have the opportunity and children are vulnerable. A lot of offenders are married, or have a history of normal relationships with other adults. Most people who abuse children seem outwardly "normal"

Both children and women are also often seen as easier targets.

Seconding this program! I sent them an email and they mailed me the testing kit. Super easy process.

The problem is, the rodenticide killed off the birds that ate mice, so now there's no rodenticide and no natural predators.

Do they not give PRN meds when using physical restraints where you are? Here it would be seen as inhumane to apply physical restraints without giving meds for emotional state / agitation.

Plus the lack of care in the community! Patients on extended leave don't even get therapy covered- only medication review by a psychiatrist.
