“What is most impressive...is not the ventilators, CT scanners or other high-tech wizardry. It’s the compassion and courage of health workers, and the intervention that struck me the most was decidedly low-tech — the hand-holding.” #patientengagement https://t.co/dT9udGauE8

I don’t know who needs to hear this but we have an entire #COVID #ICU with NO ONE over age 68. Median age in 50s. Majority under 55. And plenty of people under 40.

And a multi-d team facing it and working hard to help #pandemic

[Brittany Oakman PT, DPT, CCS @bootcampbrittpt]

Many #COVID patients are not used to or have never been hospitalized. They are scared, alone and fearful. Take the extra time to hold your patient’s hand, talk about their fears, and explain what is happening. Chat about life/hobbies to keep the mood up. It’s worth it. #acutePT

[Todd Davenport @sunsopeningband]

Just a reminder that we still teach chest PT and it should remain a basic competency for us, even though many of those pulmonary and respiratory health functions have been taken over by others in interprofessional turf wars, the weirdness of which is exposed in times like these.

YOU are both wonderful gifts to an educator. Thanks for teaching me Twitter

I missed it, please remind me when you were laid back for a skill check 👀

[Lex Lancaster, PT, DPT @lexlancaster_]

@StevieCoombs @APTASA I think it depends on how your department structures your skill checks prior to the comprehensive exam. Our skill checks were relatively laid back but our comprehensives were 10x as serious so it was a “novel stimulus”, if you will. So it was scary compared to written exams!

Have you read, "Effect of Physical Therapy Interventions in the Acute Care Setting on Function, Activity, and Participation After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review," from July's issue of JACPT? This orginal study is available for FREE: https://t.co/nWT71beJ7Z.

When in the NICU- don’t drop your patient.

[Lex Lancaster, PT, DPT @lexlancaster_]

I'm headed into a 12-week pediatric clinical experience this fall that encompasses school-based, hospital, some NICU, home-care, and clinic-based care (I honestly am so excited!) Does anyone have any advice for me as far as pediatric experiences go?!
