@CL16REE Thanks Claire π Sorry your mum is going through that. Hope she'll get sorted soon and can find a way to trust physios and GPs again. Wishing her all the best! π«Ά
Fantastic Jana, it takes courage and compassion to keep pressing for answers, this person will remember you for ever π₯° #superstar#physiointuition#physio
@ra_sanin Thank you, Rugaya! A thorough assessment by listening to our patient can give us physios a pretty good idea about what could be going on. For this patient I explained in one of my previous comments what made me escalate her care βΊοΈ
@MentalWealthSA Thank you π I can't tell you her exact age, but she is somewhere in her 50s. Said the day of surgery was her second birthday, though π π
@meakinjim Thanks, Jim. To be fair, the diagnosis was made from the CT scan she's had after I saw her. I just knew something was very wrong. But I'll take some of the credit π
