@rickmerriam @MitchHamer @smith_john89645 @AdamMeakins Why don’t we see rampant tennis elbow in patients with high spinal cord injuries who have minimal to no trunk control?

3/ the god belief intuition is evidence that humans tend to have a god intuition. The cause or truth of that intuition is a different question and needs different evidence. I am sure you know this, I just didn’t see it clearly come out in the debate. Nice work
@Matt_Dillahunty 1/.. I only watch first part of debate so far. Great job and it was frustrating. One point I think you missed-or was not clearly made. Evidence needs to be viewed based on the claim it is supporting. During the debate your opponent was switching the claim.
2/ and switching topics. The reliability of the laws of logic demonstrate that they are reliable. It does not demonstrate what causes or what is the mechanism behind the laws. That is a different question and needs different evidence.
The RESTORE trial just out in the 'The Lancet'. This trial brings hope to people disabled by low back pain. It puts the patient in the drivers seat, with skills to self-manage...it works, it save $$ and they like it. Massive team effort led by Peter Kent. https://t.co/hC5zYESWPB
Jon interviewed Leslie Rutledge, Arkansas Attorney General, about why her state banned gender-affirming care for minors - ignoring the guidelines of major medical organizations and taking the decision out of parents’ hands. Watch the full interview on @AppleTVPlus
@stoneb26@shelbymillerpt@GregLehman I am not saying that you do that. I am trying to show you how giving advice to a pt that you don’t take yourself is not necessarily hypocritical, because your goals/values may be different than the pt’s. Our job is to help patients work towards their goals/values, not ours.
@stoneb26@shelbymillerpt@GregLehman You are not my patient. Neither you or I have to agree with another person’s values. Helping a patient reach their goals, is not hypocritical if those goals/values don’t align with mine. Imposing a value/goal on a patient that I don’t hold would be hypocritical.
@stoneb26@shelbymillerpt@GregLehman I don’t value running. It is not something I enjoy. Does that mean I can’t treat a patient who runs? Of course not. We have different values. If I eat poorly and don’t exercise, but my patients wants to eat well and exercise, it is not hypocritical to help them meet that goal.
@stoneb26@shelbymillerpt@GregLehman It is about the pt’s values not your values. If my pt has a goal, I help them reach that goal. It may be different than my goals/values. It is hypocritical when I impose a goal on a pt “you should exercise” when I don’t do the same. I appreciate the assumption of my motivations.
@stoneb26@shelbymillerpt@GregLehman I don’t think any PT should tell a patient what to do. We listen to the patients goals/values and give them advice on how to reach those goals. Our values should not be imposed on our patients.
