Re: Re: Need some help - why do so many people mispell dietician :-).... is it because they can't spell misspell?

[Guest guest]

I think this discussion is made more amusing in that misspell has been

misspelled throughout.

ly, my fingers find it easier to type dietician than dietitian, perhaps due

to the similarities Monika noted below.

Re: Need some help - why do so many people mispell dietician

:-)

Think about it, colleagues...

ObstetriCIAN, PediatriCIAN, CliniCIAN...dietiTIAN is the outlyer. It's an

honest mistake. Those with more education than us...use the " c " . We should

stop considering it to be an insult.

And technically it's correct.

How do you think we come across when we have such bugs up our butts (pardon the

French) about one stinking letter?

I had my very first TV segment last week and under my name was the word

" dietiCIAN " . I didn't care!!! I certainly hope the 100,000 people watching

weren't so busy debating whether or not my title was correctly spelled that they

missed what I was taking the time and making the effort to say.

I'm sorry, I just get so frustrated that we get so caught up in (what I

personally feel is) the petty issue of a simple letter that we keep ourselves

down.

I've seen more posts about this than about any peer-reviewed research we could

be sharing that would make all of us better at what we do.

We're better than this!!!

Yes, funny but studies show that our brains spell check for us as we

read!

Miss-spelling Mispelling - misspelling- how is that word spelled? - grates on my

nerves like fingernails on a chalkboard - looks wrong feels wrong - odd but I

do believe that we have auto spell check in our brains (except my son and

husband).

I think the -T- debate says something about a tendency for dietitians to care

about small details - will one letter mess up the soup recipe? or calorie

count? it appears that to many of us that kind of detail does count. But

makes the valid point that we should pick our battles and the letter shouldn't

be the detail that the public hears about - the undiagnosed malnourishment that

is delaying healing on a national scale (and increasing bullying and violence, I

think) and the importance of medical nutrition therapy - now there is a battle.

The education on the research process has been very helpful. I want to improve

my delivery and evidence trail. I was an ostrich for 15 years helping pregnant

ladies and their babies in WIC with minimal interaction with any peers, doctors,

or academia and I hadn't realized how revolutionary my teaching message had

become - but effective. I went back to my original texts after skimming some

current ones and magnesium isn't really covered either place. I learned about it

during my migraine misery years.

Mildred Seelig is an unsung hero. Another doctor who died without seeing her

work help the masses or herself - I hadn't read this paper before - she died

four days after heart surgery at age 84 - ironic that our biggest advocate for

proper electrolyte balance in water died in ICU. My farm lady grandma died at

104, two-three years after a car accident left her with multiple fractures - she

walked again but she was frail after the hospitalization and her dancing wasn't

the exuberant waltz as at her 100th b'day party. Chronic degeneration and

autoimmune disease are being written of as an expected part of aging - and

research - peer reviewed - is too much a hunt for patentable with too little a

look at why function is lost in the first place.

Mildred Seelig should be at the top of my bibliography and why she isn't is my

bad - I can't even format an email.

http://www.jacn.org/cgi/content/full/24/5/305Journal of the American College of

Nutrition, Vol. 24, No. 5, 305-309 (2005)

In Memoriam Mildred Seelig, M.D., MPH, MACN (1920-2005) Kay B. Franz, PhD

" In addition to her papers, Mildred edited or co-edited fourbooks [2–5]. The

first book she edited [2] was the Proceedingsof the 16th Annual Meeting of the

American College of Nutrition.Two of these books were the Proceedings of the

second [4] andfourth [5] International Symposiums on Magnesium. Mildred

authoredthe book, Magnesium Deficiency in the Pathogenesis of Disease:Early

Roots of Cardiovascular, Skeletal and Renal Abnormalities,which was published in

1980 [6]. Her last book, which was co-authoredwith Dr. noff, was The

Magnesium Factor: Prevention,Treatment and Reversal of Cardiovascular Disease

[7]. This waswritten for the general public and was published in 2003. "

I would simply like to help more people to feel less pain but when I'm the lone

wolf with a radical message in a conservative town - I don't know what to do.

The nursing home folks are still on their megadoses - the nurse director wants

me to write 'easier' chart notes that recommend increase protein or add a health

shake instead of d/c 4000 IU vitamin D and 1200 mg calcium. She and her medical

director looked into it and decided that 1000 mg IU is a reasonable cut off and

she sent a letter to the local doctors to that effect. I didn't see the letter

and I wonder what I am doing there if my recommendation's don't make it out of

the building. I haven't been back yet. I don't want to sign my name to a chart

with a patient on 4000 IU D without saying something about it - it's not helping

over time and eventually that truth will overcome the marketing flurry. Popular

press shouldn't rule our plates. I need to go talk to the individual doctors in

person I think with the 3-4 best PubMed type articles that support my message

and fear is what is stopping me. or that I'm honing message still. or dithering

And is the monthly erythropoietin hormone injections given for anemia a

backwoods thing or something that is happening regularly? Mayo clinic's page

suggests it is for severe cases but a standing order? with blood draws before

and after to see if the anemia is bad or good enough to warrant another hormone

injection? sounds like abuse of the body as well as the budget. Darbepoetin

(Aranesp)

R Vajda, R.D.

(Dr Batmanghelidg is another one I honor -good hydration is essential to all

health. he got a bit fanatical in the end but his lesson is one of the tools in

my health kit.)
