Thursday morning I got a call that my 89 year grandmother had fallen and this pic. #MedTwitter I think you know how I was feeling when I saw this.

Hip fracture confirmed. Surgery would have to wait (INR). After a few phone calls w fam members that ended in “Write this down!”, I sent this list, heavily sourced from https://www.hospitalelderlifeprogram.org/for-family-members/what-you-can-do/">https://www.hospitalelderlifeprogram.org/for-famil... Not all things they could control but wanted them to know what to talk about w team

Friday I went to clinic and talked with patients about #FallsPrevention. This is routine but maybe I had a bit more more fervor than usual. Pretty sure the intern with me had never heard such advocacy for motion sensor night lights https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Smiling face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with smiling eyes">

Saturday morning surgery went well and I made it to visit that evening. Witnessed some of the kindest most most professional nursing-think bedside sign outs at shift charge, charge nurse rounding, glad partners in negotiating a plan to maximize sleep https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙌" title="Person raising both hands in celebration" aria-label="Emoji: Person raising both hands in celebration"> @AtriumHealth Cleveland
