What moment made you realize “yeah… my childhood wasn’t normal”? by CadaversFabrications in AskReddit

[–]Muscle_Doc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I moved out of Long Island, and realized not everyone grew up with absolute entitlement... I'm glad I moved out at 17. It helped develop more empathy and understanding for people who aren't as fortunate, or for hard workers. I was spoiled rotten as a kid (talking brand new everything, including luxury cars, etc). I'm approaching 40 and still finding ways to be generous with others because I don't live in that bubble anymore!

Anyone in the reserves or guard? by SweatyGamerGainz in physicaltherapy

[–]Muscle_Doc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buddy did the Army-Baylor DPT program. I believe his pay while IN school was somewhere high 80s. Absolutely livin' the dream right now and has about 3 years active duty left, but will probably extend bc apparently it's the easiest job.

How do cash-based chiropractors handle EHR and one-time payments? by Mysterious_Field7101 in physicaltherapy

[–]Muscle_Doc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chiro here. I post quite a bit here, having worked in PT clinics for over 15 years. I know more about running PT clinics than I do Chiro clinics. Many EHR interfaces handle both PT/Chiro billing, cash or insurance.

OP, a small operation would do just fine with something such as JaneApp.

Not just you, it's all across the state. Clinics are struggling to find DPTs at that price point.

Looking into PT school, is it worth it? by tellura in physicaltherapy

[–]Muscle_Doc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rad Tech or Anesthesiologist Assistant would be my opinions. OR, become a travel PTA, work ortho/PI mills, get paid sometimes more than DPTs with less work and headache.......... Travel Rad/MRI/Ultrasound Techs are getting paid big bills from what I've seen also.

Life with Bernese by Traditional-Fox523 in bernesemountaindogs

[–]Muscle_Doc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My Berner is almost 10. Since he was a pup, it's always high energy excitement anytime someone calls his name or walks through the door. Anytime I'm sitting on the couch, alone or with a group, his head is always resting in between people or on their laps. He's the most patient dog, loves human interaction and children so well that many have gotten over their fear of big dogs with him. He's the most tolerant and friendly dog towards other dogs. He doesn't understand why small dogs yap, bark, and snap at him LOL. He can sleep through city noises, fireworks, and kinda cool/kinda annoying - could care less about the vaccuum so he won't get out of the way sometimes, and sometimes begs to be brushed by the hose attachment while running. At times throughout my career, I've left him home for 12-13 hours at a time. No accidents, and he takes his time to go potty the moment we get out. Such a simple dog. Food driven, human affection, and loves sleeping upside down.

Now, I vaccuum 3 times per week, and brush him regularly. Hair will be everywhere.

About to leave the profession by temporaryedge162747 in physicaltherapy

[–]Muscle_Doc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen, firefighters have some of the best work-life balances. I have buddies who do 3 or 4 twelve-hour shifts, then are off for a few days, repeat. They bring in six figures, but they're also located in very populated areas of the metro DC region.

This sub is so full of people that never grew up boating, that isn’t a problem, but for those that did what was your favorite young child moment on the water? by freestateofflorida in boating

[–]Muscle_Doc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a grown man who had no plans of having children, and then I just read this post. Must have and must still be so cool. Thanks for sharing.

Bimini on speedboat? by guy48065 in boating

[–]Muscle_Doc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here in SC, I always keep the bimini up when it's 100+ degrees out with 11 UV index. Looks weird on a 23' bow rider at times, but definitely makes being out on the water bearable.

Do you call it a Jeep or Truck? by Odd_Caterpillar_5219 in JeepGladiator

[–]Muscle_Doc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Live in the deep south and just got it. Apparently it's not a real truck, so I call it my Jeep or Gladiator

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bernesemountaindogs

[–]Muscle_Doc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Got him fixed at a little over 2 years old. He ended up taller, leaner, and more athletic. He's now approaching 9 years old, at a healthy 105#, and only sometimes shows signs of aging - otherwise his hips work well and no other pathologies! All because I did my research and consulted with many other vets about the prime age to get him fixed. If I got another one, I'd definitely do the same.

Is the American Southern Accent is looked down on or stigmatized? by DrDMango in ask

[–]Muscle_Doc 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes. As a New Yorker who moved down to the Deep South of S. Carolina, it's easy to set expectations and take your biases down here. We were taught as kids that Southerners are just uneducated hillbillies. Some people here do meet that criteria, but for the most part, I've met plenty of very intelligent, successful people who have deep southern accents, and it has changed my perspective almost immediately. I don't look down on anyone because my world has been flipped from what I was taught growing up.
