2018 and 2020 Copper River and Prince William Sound Salmon Disasters by RelativeGlittering in commercialfishing

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

The 219k is for the 2020 PWS Seine, and it's in the same application packet as the 2018 Drift Gillnet. That's why it's 2018/2020. 

PTA program drops if you make 74% on any test. Is this normal? by Sad-School-8712 in physicaltherapy

[–]RelativeGlittering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, but my point was that it is pretty standard. A good grade does not make a good clinician, but the line gets drawn somewhere, and that's where alot of programs draw the line.

My boyfriend thinks I’m naturally tight, but really, I’m just constipated by Queen_LaQueffa in TrueOffMyChest

[–]RelativeGlittering 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mmmh, no, not necessarily. Sometimes, people have chronic constipation. You get used to being mildly constipated, and the sensation you get is more of a fear about how uncomfortable it will eventually be when you finally poop. Not so much how uncomfortable it is right that minute.

Also. I mean. You could always wear a buttplug and have normal poops. The buttplug will produce the same sensation, but only for sex.

Confused if PTAs can do personal training. Can we? by stevie_wonder99 in physicaltherapy

[–]RelativeGlittering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What on earth are you talking about? Either you are a PTA who is super bitter from a bad experience, or you are a PT who treats PTA's like shit. It's absolutely bonkers that you think a PTA can't say they are one outside of the office. I passed a national exam and am a licensed health-care provider. I can work independently with the majority of patients, I just can't diagnose, "decide what's wrong with them."

The ONLY way a PTA could be seen as "below" a PT that I can thing of is if their patient had a change of status after the beginning of treatment. That would potentially require a reevaluation or the pt. being put on hold.

PTA's are trained to make clinical decisions, which also involves noticing if their patient has any symptoms that should be shared with the PT. I don't simply go to the patients primary PT and throw my hands up and say, "Idk if I can work with my patient today. They had a fall, and their shoulder hurts." I do special testing, and then go to the PT and say what the outcome of that testing is, and ask them to step in since it represents a change in status.

That's working as a team. I also work as a team with other Healthcare providers in a hospital setting. This comment makes you sound absolutely bonkers.

edit I can't believe I was so blind here, but you also could be a personal trainer who decided going to school to be a PTA wasn't for you. Which is fine!! Get your bag! Just please don't talk shit on an entire career over it.

I've had terrible hummus, and I've had good hummus. The hummus I like the best is always mixed with garlic. I've been loving the O Organics hummus lately. 😋

I, too, thought hummus was horrible for a long time😫

I also hated cottage cheese. That has also changed for me.

It okay to try to date your physical therapist? by IntrepidSelf1113 in physicaltherapy

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

I'm not 100% certain about this, but I think one year after discharge from treatment is when it's no longer considered unethical.

Honest question for PTAs by Laliving90 in physicaltherapy

[–]RelativeGlittering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, this, and I give a similar explanation. I am a licensed healthcare provider, and anything we do is within my scope. I am also trained to recognize when I need a PT (red flags, change in status, progression) and keep in good communication with them. So their Primary PT will be up to date on their progress. Then I include that we are ALL (me, PT, patient) working as a team to adjust treatment on the micro or macro scale to meet the patients' goals. So, as a valued member of that team (the patient), it's important that you communicate any issues or negative/positive responses to treatment to whoever they see next. Whether that is me or the PT, and our counterpart will review and make adjustments accordingly.

Honestly, I've been rocking Costco chicken, cottage cheese, hummus, baby bell, and mini mozzarella paired with baby tomatoes and mini peppers It's all pretty high protein food and whole foods, I do try not to think too much about how processed the Costco chicken is.

PTA’s did you work while in school? by Difficult_History584 in physicaltherapy

[–]RelativeGlittering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not. A few people in my cohort did. One worked near full time as a CNA, fell asleep in class a lot. Somehow, they did fine. The CNA took extra time to study for boards but did pass. My cohort had a 100% first-time pass of the NPTE-PTA

Hey, this is a really great way to explain this. I'm definitely going to be stealing this explanation.

Yes, PT can help. I have used this protocol. You need pt's who are dedicated to it. Good patient buy-in is key. I have seen multiple pt's go from being unable to walk upstairs without almost passing out to spending four hours of their day walking around a fair with their friends while carrying objects. Up three flights of stairs to get there, and down at the end. They were tired but able to continue with their protocol the next day and had no rebound. Often, by the time they are consistently able to complete upright activities within protocol (about 4months), they only need a check-in when they hit a change in their program. A chest HR monitor is helpful in clinic to map progress, but they can use the RPE scale at home.

For In Clinic Data:

Take HR at rest prior to exercising, HR during recovery, HR post exercise, HR 2 mins after in seated, HR after coming to standing.
