I have so valued the #Medical community on Twitter but, at this time, will be stepping away at least for now. I hope to continue connecting with many of you offline and others virtually in the future.

Not controversial in geriatrics… allowing or assisting individuals up, ideally three times daily, is critical for all the reasons you highlight. Enforced bed rest to try and prevent all falls leads to Deconditioning which, in older adults, can have far-reaching consequences.
Controversial opinion: there should not be a “zero falls” goal or “X days since last fall” pride in hospital nursing units. It leads us to shackle many people to their beds unnecessarily, causing physical and psychological harms. 1/6
