Last week: my 14yo pt asked me why PTs need a doctorate.

Me: we need to differentiate when jaw/shoulder pain is from grinding teeth or injury or from a heart attack.

Today:
Pt: how are ya, today, Abby?
Me: I’m good, but my tooth is bugging me.
Her: is it a heart attack? 🫀

Funny things my patients say:
Me: Oh! You like to cook? What can you make?
8yo: Well... I only make one thing. MEATLOAF!

I have so many questions...

Yesterday to a (not PT patient) ~15yo in a boot:

Me: Hi! You’re using that crutch on the wrong side.

Pt: oh, it’s just for show, so it doesn’t matter.

Me: 😒 Even for show… it’s on the wrong side.

Pt’s mom: She looks like she knows more than you- Switch it.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson releases a statement ahead of the NBA expansion vote

“Seattle is ready to welcome the Sonics home. We never stopped being a basketball city, and the fans have never given up. You see it in our parks, in our schools, in packed gyms in every neighborhood, and in our Seattle Storm championships. We built a world-class arena. We have a strong economy and a dedicated workforce. We are prepared, we are united, and we are ready for the next chapter of our Sonics.”

@doclsmack @LenMacPT Interesting… I haven’t thought of it this way before and it makes sense as something to consider and add in… if this approach really has a big impact for patients with QT grafts, the word doesn’t seem to have gotten out and the struggle with these patients is so massive.

No children should die of the measles. That’s the whole point of vaccination.

I asked my patient to get into hooklying position so he could do bridges. A small bouncy ball rolled out of his hoodie pocket as he went to lie down. He pounced on it. Sat up. Held it in front of him and looking at it lovingly, said, "My Precious."

[Abby Gordon @agordon55]

Patient: How long have you been working here?
Me: Almost 9 years!
Patient: You've been working here longer than I've been alive...
