When your patient complains while you're administering ther ex in a private treatment room
The first ten minutes after a practical exam
When your CI insists on co-treating a very simple, straight-forward patient
What your face looks like...
What you're really thinking...
Trying to act cool when a colleague demonstrates an unfamiliar manual technique
But internally saying...
Observing the prep and positioning of an old female just before their hip surgery
If you've seen this, then you know...
The first time you witness nystagmus in a patient's eyes
You and your CI, during a Bell's Palsy evaluation
As a third-year, doing an eval in front of your new CI for the first time
When you decide to surprise your clinic coworkers with pepperoni pizza, as a thank you, then remember that they're all vegetarians
Your first day at a manual therapy clinic
Before:
After:
Successfully finding a PT diagnosis using multiple special test clusters during your first "shoulder pain" eval
When your current CI asks how much manual therapy you've used in past clinicals
Not much but...
When your patient forces the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into conversation
Your patient's reaction when she hears about the Ebola virus for the first time
