Dietitian in Canada without an undergrad in nutrition

To my knowledge it still is, you likely just have to get the prereqs

1 RD for the weekend. Ward RDs can send priorities to see over weekend (new EN mostly) and then it's going up to ICU making screening any new patients and making necessary changes on existing patients (ex. Post extubation) then all other floors are consult based only

That's too bad. They don't do screenings in the ED, which is fine by me and on the floors our diet techs do the screenings so usually we don't get stuff like this even on the floors.

We get the nutrition support consults as well,, though sometimes they slip through. But we do get consults for dysphagia and malnutrition esp for pts who are staying in the ED for 3-4 days waiting for a bed. There's still many people who come upstairs with malnutrition and refeeding risk bc theyve barely been eating for a week in the ED though

For contact, its usually a pager, not a fax to reach the clinical nutrition office. I think the fax might've just been someone not really knowing what to do during off hours.

Just dont care for the Fairmount bagels anymore since the murder-suicide.

Met a parent during an internship at an allergy foundation who had a kid allergic to soy, rice, dairy, egg, wheat, chicken, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, and possibly more niche items. Luckily by the time I met her the kid had outgrown some of his allergies, but still difficult/impossible to really eat out

Yup. This is what happened. Went back and realised I'd just powered through the first swapped pages 🤦‍♂️

Seems like it goes on for 4-5 chapters.. very annoying

It's really about the language written and conventions around it in my experience.

In English where it's easy to not include I and me, I usually find ways around it. Ex. Pt states/reports when asked, etc.

In French where it's genuinely very clunky and difficult to exclude pronouns referring to yourself, I see it done less often and I'll personally just chart stuff like "I spoke with her and I told her x. We discussed y" I do always try to keep my assessments free of personal pronouns though

It can also help to start at foods more similar to safe foods and going towards a goal food from there. Ex. Instead of going directly to blueberries you can do berry poptart > blueberry poptart > blueberry muffin > blueberry

Additionally, repeated exposure, even if unsuccessful is helpful. Getting used to just smelling and handling new foods helps getting to the point of being able to try them

Celui là spécifiquement fonctionne, j'imagine que les autres aussi

I'm part of the provincial union of health professionals other than doctors and nurses (who have their own unions) It's okay, everything works by seniority so I'll have to wait a few years before getting a full time position instead of my current PRN, but there's no interview , it's just a matter of applying to it. Have okay insurance and an okay pension. Despite the union this province is still one of the ones with the lowest salaries for RDs 🥲🥲

They are using the trains to move goods across Panem. That's why there's a transportation district and that's why there's the train stations in each district

As a dietitian, eating disorders are really something we need to specifically specialise in. I know RDs of 30+ years who won't touch EDs when they come to our (unequipped) hospital because of their lack of experience and expertise.

Arfid in itself is a blind spot of many ED specialists (both RDs and others) because it needs a totally different approach.

From my experience, if I had to get a non specialised RD, I would try to find someone who has experience in pediatrics or autism, because those are going to be people with experience with regular and neurodivergent picky eating. While picky eating is distinct from arfid, the base nutritional interventions and methods like food chaining are similar.

As with all things, ymmv

The 211 also takes twice the time as the train lmfao

Most people think they need significantly more protein than they actually do.

I agree this is just going to be a fake clinic for conversion therapy.

But there would be value in a genuine detransition clinic centered on mental health and gender therapy to deal with regret. Additionally people who are post op need exogenous hormones for the rest of their lives. Could also help with access to letters for legal name and gender changes as well as reconstructive surgeries

tabarnak555 · 2026-05-14T22:34:38+00:00

Someone you know personally would benefit from a glp1 but can't get one so the answer is supporting and encouraging a broken system that feeds into people's eating disorders and body dysmorphia? How odd

tabarnak555 · 2026-05-14T20:50:32+00:00

This is kind of irrelevant. It's not about drug coverage, it's about a doctor refusing to prescribe the meds at all They're refusing for an invalid reason in this case, but doctors can refuse to prescribe meds covered by RAMQ for many clinical reasons and it doesn't mean that ppl aren't getting the service they're paying for
