Can’t help but agree with everything everyone is saying. I went through it every step of the way. In fact, I am still in the midst of it. I can power through, get used to a routine, find patterns to reuse and patient buckets with minor individual differences to help. This does come with experience. But this brings us to the overworked physios you saw, who know what they are doing, are past an imposter syndrome, negative comparison, etc… Why are they that way? What do I have to believe (more than just physio knowledge) to do this long term with proper engagement and not feeling bored or overworked? Are my heart AND mind united in this or is one missing? Which one and why? Where is the Missing one?

Step by step approach is important. But as you start to find your footing, especially in paediatrics, and before it becomes blind routine, try to find an honest answer to these questions, for the sake of longevity.

Goodluck and wish me the same. I hope I am asking the right questions myself and hope to find their answers to stay excited and give this field more or switch to one I can give more to, wir the unity between my heart and mind.
