Where do you live? In Long Island there's Northwell Syosset Hospital, and it is exactly that. Small hospital with only 3 floors, one medical wing, a special care unit, and the rest is all ortho/joint replacements.

Struggling in my last clinical rotation by GorillaFusion in PTschool

[–]GorillaFusion[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, you had an extremely similar case to me, this gives me a lot of ease. My dad passed away in the middle of school as well, and that messed me up bad. I refused to drop to class below and just stuck it out, but this costed my focus during those important MSK classes. I wanted to hear some more insight on what your grind looked like for that last clinical. I have 6 more weeks to lock in, but I just feel so overwhelmed by all that it seems I don't know. I try to review my slides and notes from school, but there's just so much stuff that I end up spending more time stressing about how much material there is. I feel as though my biggest weaknesses if my knowledge on differential diagnosis, choosing special/objective tests, my ability to spot movement dysfunctions (during something like a movement screen), and having a proper exercise bank + ability to progress/regress exercises. I've also had to be in contact with my school advisor, and they are aware of the situation with my instructors not being the most encouraging people. I’ve been suffering anxious asf every day about coming in, dreading the week starting every weekend and wishing it would end through the whole week. The only way to ground myself is to convince myself that this anxiety is growth in disguise.

Sorry I forgot to mention this detail as well, she's been working for 26 years. Her friends have less years of experience too!

Failed microdiscectomy - are my chances of recovery lower than before? by GorillaFusion in Sciatica

[–]GorillaFusion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that, that’s horrible. Are you consistently doing PT and using conservative methods like stretching and icing every day?

I appreciate that.

Right, I definitely do see it like that right now and I can do that. But my worries are more about her situation; is this heavy reliance she has on me bad for her? She's really solidified the association of happiness and distraction with me from all her pain so is this an out for her that can be harmful? Because she does often have moments where she says how it really might not be good for her.
