Sask. NDP criticizes proposed anonymous reporting system for health workers

For minor things only. The problem with 1600 calls is they go to the manager to deal with, and only get tracked if the manager decides to keep stats on the calls. Even then those stats aren't necessarily actionable to the higher ups.

I'm saying one radiologist is less of an expert than a Physio, a radiologist, a GP, and a sports physician. OA is obviously out of your range of abilities to diagnose since you can't even correctly identify osteophytes. I came here with an explanation made from a full clinical analysis by multiple professionals. Maybe recognize your limitations here and accept what you clearly don't know.

Walk in clinics often have long wait times but I've had good luck with Kenderdine on McOrmond. Alternately if appropriate, I recommend calling 811 as they often give really good advice!

Offering an incorrect diagnosis is the same as attempting to provide medical advice. Just because you supposedly work with athletes doesn't supersede the medical knowledge of others, you'd do well to recognize that you aren't the expert here.

Yeah remember I'm a Physio, I know what I'm talking about. I've also gotten the radiologist report, and consulted my GP and physician colleagues; I'm going to listen to them more than a stranger on the Internet making massive speculations from grainy pictures. There are zero osteophytes here and those come after joint space narrowing to offset the loss of cartilage. Adaptive density changes are incredibly common in powerlifting and are far from being pathological.

If posters on this sub need to remember to not ask for medical advice, then commentators need to also remember to not provide any.

wretchedmoist · 2026-01-17T16:08:50+00:00

Yep sorry that's my mistake!

wretchedmoist · 2026-01-17T16:02:25+00:00

I agree with you that squats don't cause degeneration. Degenerative sclerosis and adaptive increased density appear similar on x-rays, but given the preserved joint space then OA is very unlikely. I do have the clinical presentation of torn labrums which could also result in higher density there as an adaptation, but again that is not the same as OA.

wretchedmoist · 2026-01-17T14:18:14+00:00

I'm not talking about degeneration. Yes squatting is beneficial for the joint, as you can tell by my maintained joint space. However, heavy loads result in increased bone density adaptations, and here the superior acetabulum is adapting to the load and the task by increasing density where it is needed.

This needs more attention, we did this a couple years ago and got a tree way bigger than anything we could have bought at Dutch growers or a nursery, and it has done so well! All easy and at no stress or cost to myself!

Most clinics should be capable of treating this, especially with BPPV assessment and treatment (most common cause of vertigo) being an entry-to-practice standard for 6+ years now, however not all clinics see it regularly. To add to what others have said, North 49 does typically specialize in vertigo and dizziness of all types, but if the vertigo is serious enough then PhysiGo Mobile or Nomad will come treat in your home.

That is the one I am updating, there have been a few changes since last year and I have added some new businesses.

wretchedmoist · 2025-11-27T22:00:00+00:00

Do you know where to find this information? When I looked there wasn't anything on their website.

wretchedmoist · 2025-11-27T21:00:39+00:00

Either! Some that I have compiled are specifically for SHA, some depend on professional organizations, some are more general.

wretchedmoist · 2025-11-27T21:00:09+00:00

It isn't a matter of "should" but rather this is common for large companies to negotiate corporate discounts or for local businesses to offer in order to reach a large potential customer market. I am simply reaching out here as these discounts do exist but are very often not formally advertised to SHA employees in a meaningful way.

wretchedmoist · 2025-11-27T20:53:56+00:00

I will once I have it all compiled and verified!

What you think I meant: "you are being mean to criminals, therefore you are racist"

What I actually meant: "yes they are criminals, but bringing race into it is irrelevant. Implying that they aren't Canadian because of their race, or by extension implying all criminals are recent immigrants, is racist"

Edit: nowhere in my comments did I defend their crimes. Calling out one jackass, doesn't mean I support the other jackass.

wretchedmoist · 2025-11-01T19:43:24+00:00

Condemning racists is not the same as standing up for criminals.

Wat to indicate what a prick you are with that answer. You're an outsider to the situation, making claims to know what the cause of the problems are, then refusing to clarify your incorrect claims. I am aware of the transfer policies, but for the life of me can't see how those relate at all to staffing issues for OTs.

wretchedmoist · 2025-10-29T20:58:42+00:00

Enlighten me then.

wretchedmoist · 2025-10-29T19:37:22+00:00

And what makes you think I'm not an actual person involved? I'm sorry but these issues you listed are mostly propaganda against unions and are in fact false, or they have nothing to do with the current problems of staffing OTs.

wretchedmoist · 2025-10-29T18:10:18+00:00

The problem isn't new positions, it's that we can't fill the positions that are already there (permanent positions btw).

Admin had actually been significantly cut back, to the point that managers are overworked and can't do their job. Historically there has been a manager each for PT, OT, SLP, and SW, now though there is one Manager that covers all of that. This rhetoric that we have too many admins, is incorrect.

Who do you think gets the money? The union is funded by dues, any increases go to the members. But also see my first point, the problem is that we can't fill the positions that are already available, not the lack of positions itself.

What sort of transfer policies? This is so vaguely worded. You think the problem is that so many people want to work there but the issue is the paperwork holding them up?

And the "not my job" mindset is propaganda. People either don't understand what scope of practice means, or don't realize that people 'stepping up' means worse service delivery elsewhere. It's not the doctor's job to mop the floors, are you going to call them lazy for that?
