Connect with Marina on LinkedIn HERE
Question #1: Where do you live in Greece and what is your job title/role as a dietitian?
Answer: “I live in Athens, the capital of Greece, and I work as a freelance dietitian.”
Question #2: What is a typical day like for you as a dietitian?
Answer: “…a typical day would be scheduled sessions with clients, creating diet plans for patients/clients. The rest of my time is dedicated to making sure I am up to date, like reading the latest guidelines, creating content on my social media. Lastly, I try to get involved in new more efficient ways to help and support my clientele, like attending webinars, seminars etc. (e.g. specialized in a psychoeducational method for weight management).”

4. Newsletter: “Tips for Surviving a Hospital Trip When Chronically Ill”
Tips for Surviving a Hospital Trip When Chronically Ill (disabledginger.com)

Please recognize the barriers to care that exist for disabled and marginalized individuals. It takes a lot of strength and courage for us to go to the ER - please treat us with kindness.
This includes wearing a mask for us. Many disabled patients have made tremendous personal sacrifices to avoid repeat Covid infection - please don’t be the one who makes them sick. Don’t psychologize them for masking or label them “anxious” for trying to avoid infection. Remember that the ‘anxious’ or ‘difficult’ label can and does follow patients around and negatively impacts their care. Don’t use it haphazardly.”
