A quick hello to meet the force behind all things Geriatrics in Family medicine in the GenerEHlist family.

Obesity Canada published a guideline in 2020 that we will be referring to a lot in this episode. It defines obesity as a chronic, progressive and relapsing disease characterized by the presence of adiposity that impairs health and social well-being.

 So today you’ll learn what you need to know for the exam, but also some practical considerations for real life visits that take into account the pressures of diet culture, and how we as physicians can provide evidence based advice that doesn’t isolate and judge our patients. And because we know language matters, you’ll hear us use terms like “large bodies”, instead of saying someone is fat. There are advocates who have reclaimed the term fat, but today we’ll stick with medical jargon and terms aimed to avoid stigma.

Syncope = a brief loss of consciousness and postural tone that resolves spontaneously with a return to baseline neurological function within seconds or a few minutes.

Presyncope = near LOC. Should be worked up the same as we know it portends a similar risk of downstream badness as syncope. presyncope is “I almost lost consciousness and then recovered” → more of acute thing. The final common pathway of syncope is the same regardless of the underlying cause. In general, 10 seconds of interrupted blood flow to the brain.
