@ritagillan I miss that! We do not have OT or speech at our location. It's just us PTs!

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@coriolive strange!!! I wonder what medical professional wrote that!

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@JessBernardPTs YES!! and that is also so vague!! #IHPFT2

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@Lincoln_PTs "Shoulder Pain". Ummm actually that's a neck! #IHPFT2

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@aarongiberson yes! With documentation especially! It needs to make sense to a stranger! And insurance #IHPFT2

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@JessBernardPTs Surprised re: how vague scripts were for OP setting! I was spoiled on a surgical floor before! #IHPFT2

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@Lincoln_PTs So many people don't just take the time to sit and listen to older people! The stories are amazing! #IHPFT2

@ethanTpravetz @CaitlinFitzPT Pt w int fixation - bilat compound femur fxs - ask when they would take out the hardware. Tough convo. #IHPFT2

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@CaitlinFitzPT Yes! Also knowing WHAT you are listening for and translating what the "pt is telling you". You often have to infer! #IHPFT2

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@coriolive I love the flow chart idea!! A good way to think of things! Maybe I'll work on that! #IHPFT2

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@SaraSPT That's something I remind myself every time! You don't need to do EVERYTHING today. You will see them again!! :) #IHPFT2

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

I often get flustered in evals with vague rx such as "shoulder". There is so much I want to look at & not enough time! Suggestions? #IHPFT2

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@Lincoln_PTs Even just with stretching!! "Is this a mild, medium or heavy stretch?" I say that multiple times a day! #IHPFT2

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@SaraSPT Sometimes pts don't have the motor control to do an exercise - it varies so much! Helpful to have options! #IHPFT2

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

#IHPFT2 My CI literally says "Pause. Count to 4. Go." Sometimes I get too excited!!! haha

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@CaitlinFitzPT @AlexRiosSPT It's great to have ST goals. Viewing every day individually has been useful at times for me!

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@AlexRiosSPT Yes!! And not even realize it!. Absolutely omething to be aware of.

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@aarongiberson I agree!! I like having a physical copy of my schedule in hand! Helps me visualize the day :)

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

@AlexRiosSPT Seeing same dx a lot can be good & bad. Sometimes I predict an exam result in my head based on dx & it's totally wrong!

[Rebecca Glass @RebeccaNGlass]

#IHPFT2 Balancing a good plan with flexibility is difficult. Easy to get stuck when there is so much to see in an initial eval!
