I’m pleased to be interviewed for this article. We have a lot to learn, and we can apply what we know to start helping along the way.

Less is more. Break it down. #StopRestPace #LongCovid https://t.co/dcXJXZmx3Z

99% of them weren't worth it.

Save yourself the time and just explore these 4 🧵👇

Middle aged patient diagnosed with COVID last March (almost a YEAR ago) and today he sat up on his own for the first. time. since then. Both of us were nearly in tears. Pls get vaccinated I don’t wanna keep doing this 🥲 #LongCovid

Working in the hospital means that sometimes you have patients who are IV drug users but also are refusing the COVID vaccine because they “don’t know what’s in it.”

@netflix I found your next hit series - A mysterious (and maybe fake) billionaire, a tourist submarine, Lake Superior’s first underwater hotel, and a cryptocurrency angle all in the same article. Talk about range.

Two Harbors mayor wants an underwater hotel. Is the plan ethical? https://t.co/AgRTZm7xFH

Every time a patient cancels their appointment with me: “oh good either I fixed them or they hate me”

[Abby Schultz, PT, DPT @abbymschultz]

(Well done @shethinx!)

[Abby Schultz, PT, DPT @abbymschultz]

As a PT, it makes me so happy to see ads like this. My patients deserve to see mirrors of themselves in pop culture!!!!! #RepresentationMatters

Part 2 in our series on families that still have cabins in Isle Royale National Park. We look at what life is like today. Excellent video by ⁦⁦@sam_erk⁩ and photos by Steve Kuchera

Next week our final story will look at what the future could hold https://t.co/lXraTx2rgV

[Jimmy Lovrien @JimmyLovrien]

In August, @sam_erk, Steve Kuchera and I spent a week on Isle Royale collecting stories from the families that have had cabins there since before it was a national park. The first story in a three-part series was published Saturday: https://t.co/BhMv0b9ryk

@PTPintcast The two most powerful statements a provider has at their disposal: “I believe you” and “It’s going to be okay.”

I GOT A JOB AS A REAL PHYSICAL THERAPIST TODAY

[Abby Schultz, PT, DPT @abbymschultz]

When you walk in for your PT session and your patient, who is on fluid restrictions for CHF, is drinking directly out of the faucet.

[Abby Schultz, PT, DPT @abbymschultz]

Wow. Everyday I come home and feel so grateful that my patients let me be a part of their recovery journey. This is THE job for me.

[Abby Schultz, PT, DPT @abbymschultz]

My personal values do not have to align with those of my patient’s for me to provide effective, comprehensive care.

(Breathe in, breathe out, repeat).

[Abby Schultz, PT, DPT @abbymschultz]

Thanks goodness every neurosurgeon is required to have brain surgery before performing brain surgery on patients! No way they could provide competent care without that experience!

[Squat University @SquatUniversity]

A physical therapist or other rehab professional that doesn’t ever squat, deadlift, sprint, or swing a kettlebell is like a mechanic who only ever drives their car at 30mph.

Hard to give advice on exercise when you don’t have any practical experience pushing your own body.
