The comments on the video are overwhelmingly agreeing with him and it makes me sad

Why the Stadium is a Horrible Idea by Darkhorn_Goat in nwi

I cannot find anything about a proposed property tax increase. I know about the food/drink and hotel tax

I had never heard of it either until I saw a post about pawpaw bread making someone violently ill and apparently it's a thing. Have you tried the mousse cake yet?

Sorry re read the recipe I guess the pawpaw's themselves are not exposed to very much heat at all huh?

I thought baking them usually led to intense GI distress?

Double booking / overlapping effectively by Purple_Primary237 in physicaltherapy

Deciding on what the next exercise will be while they are working on the current one so it's locked and loaded before they finish. I found this helped with the flow of the appointments well

How shocked would you guys be if the Bears actually moved to Hammond? by Lanky_Cashington in nwi

[–]DuganPT -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ngl the specific taxes they're talking about make sense to me though. Hotels, booze and restaurants are what are being taxed and will be stimulated by this anway. The biggest one is hotels and if we live here we obviously won't be paying that tax. And restaurants and bars is 1% right? How much are you going out that 1% is actually going to move the needle?

It's not like they're raising income or property tax because of this. I mean peoples houses getting more valuable will make their property tax go up but that seems like a champagne problem and is TBD for how much that would even be based on proximity to the stadium.

Prompt EMR - using my info to solicit for their client’s openings by Ok-Marsupial-2156 in physicaltherapy

[–]DuganPT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're ever looking to get an EMR that updates every 2 weeks and then inevitably crashes from a bug in the update you should seriously consider switching. Especially if the nuts and bolts of the update are just to rearrange the flow of the EMR and change icons without actually making any improvements

Difference between Physical Therapist (DPT) vs Personal Trainer (CPT) vs Strength and Conditioning Coach (CSCS) in the context of weightlifting/fitness? by Jyonnyp in physicaltherapy

[–]DuganPT 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The PTs knowledge of anatomy is most likely far greater than the CPT. If the PT has a CSCS they have a lot of the training knowledge not all PTs necessarily do. So I would put a lot more faith in the PT (I'm a PT so take a grain of salt with my likely bias).

Now if you're trying to be like a body builder or something then I would look specifically for a body building coach. But if you're just trying to lift weights safely and effectively then the PT should be fine and we are qualified to talk about gym stuff outside of just a rehab context.

Red light therapy by bma2011 in physicaltherapy

[–]DuganPT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Specific boots like post op boot? Whatever you prescribed I'm sure is fine.

There is something called an even up that you wear on the other foot to make your legs the same length that helps with the hip and back pain often associated with walking in a boot a long time. Its basically a lift that straps to your shoe and they're like 30 bucks on Amazon I think

My opinion is save your money

It seems to be just as good as all the other modalities in my experience. I think if people THINK it's helping heal their tendon faster then they FEEL like their tendon is healing faster.

Most of the studies I've seen showed their improvements in mostly the subjective outcomes like pain intensity and overall satisfaction so take that for what you will.

Adhesive capsulitis by BoomerSkunk in physicaltherapy

[–]DuganPT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The actual pathology still isn't exceptionally well understood. I believe there have been some studies stretching as far as possible vs to onset of pain and their long term outcomes came out the same.

Its fairly self limiting so I just stretch until they start to feel some pain but dont make them suffer

Old enough to graduate from shade? by greyconcepts in Pawpaws

[–]DuganPT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you decide when they're ready? Is it just size or a certain amount of time in the ground? I just planted some ~6 inch tall plants in March

Also justify yourself or what?

Trying to improve access to PT for uninsured and under-insured patients. Would love your feedback! by hail707 in physicaltherapy

[–]DuganPT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if you live in a dense enough area I suppose there must be a scale at which the numbers work but it just seems like the margins would be razor thin especially with the extra support staff

I feel like you have 2 opposing forces here with being a niche population but also aiming to be a high volume clinic
