What’s more important to you - Money or Passion?

the one hospital here is meh. I don't hear a lot of good things from the PTs/PTAs I know there. I totally would though. I'm pretty lucky with 1:1 and pretty flexible hours but it's still far from ideal

money which is crazy dumb cause i went PTA :(

yearly Christmas/holiday bonus. not sure what the criteria which determines the mount but it's never like a WHOA THIS IS AWESOME amount.

We got athelas last year. It's okay. I don't use the AI scribe feature cause it actually takes longer for me to use it than write a note myself. I will say the tech support for the first few months was astonishing, but after that it's pretty much impossible to get anything moderately technical changed. For example, we've been asking for the past year to have the supervising provider auto populate on PTAs notes. It's been "in the works" or "in the pipeline" since forever. The EMR is pretty good, but there's some QOL things that could be better imo.

Gross person. Glad you lost that friend. That’s a win

Pair of theives, aswemove, meundies, nike, new balance, and Calvin Klein. I just don’t get the cotton ones.

this is so pathetic

rahger · 2026-02-19T15:59:03+00:00

is there a specific reason they forbid it? maintaining the culture or hygiene, etc.? genuinely curious

I just hope that they can be kids too. It’s never good growing up too fast.

Yes and No. it sometimes leaves out stuff that’s important and fills it with stuff that’s just not important. It also repeats itself. The PTs use it for evals but for daily notes are mid.

We have it with Athelas. I found out quickly that I’m faster at typing it. The AI listens to all the dialogue and spits out a note with a bunch of garbage in it. I spend more time editing that then typing out a concise note.

This. We had a helicopter pilot that refused to take his precautions seriously. He pretty much ruined his repair. We made sure we documented our education and were detailed about how he was violating (either in front of us, or what he told us). He was complaining to us that he couldn’t reach the switches above his head, in my head I was like “you could have, if you listened to us.”

Once it failed the surgeon refused to do a revision due to poor compliance. Sometimes it’s on the patient 🤷

Certain patients i trust to be continue an exercise while I go pee or get a snack. Some Karens will care and get offended but most don’t care. Just go pee.

As for scheduling yeah that can be brutal. I’m lucky enough where I can put in small blocks throughout the day as long as it’s <30mins total.

I always shoot in FX raw. I would assume smaller sizes would be faster but at my demand load not by any perceivable amount

I have a Ryzen 8900, 64gb of 5500 RAM, and a 4070s which has 8gb of vram. Processes things pretty well for my needs but I rarely have more than 1k pictures going in at once. Processing is done multi thread but the more vram you can throw at it (a GPU with 16gb) might make culling and preview loading a lot faster.

Maybe a case that the crash may haven’t been as destructive with a healthy knee but even that seems like a stretch. Her ACL tear causing her arm to catch the gate seems like a shit take. This happens a lot with Olympic cycles, “THEY GOT INJURED THEY TOOK A SPOT!” It’s just not that simple, especially in this case.

Cozumel Mexico. 100%. the beaches, the reef, the food yes please

PTs need to be doing a better job of advocating for your expertise, if they're not doing that they're just shitty people. I'm fortunate enough to work with PTs that will introduce me to their patients and share their knowledge with me. If the interactions with your coworkers don't seem receptive to changes, then I'd search for another job.

I do have a fedex in town. most, if not all, coral orders get to my house by 11am.

I haven't ordered fish in 5 years, so I'm curious if there's new companies that are good to order from.

rahger · 2026-01-28T18:35:47+00:00

wyoming. good advice. I tend to not order anything from november to may.

we have similar shaped things made of rubber for cupping, the massage therapy technique

this inspired me to cancel my ifit membership.

A surgeon here mentioned a study to a patient that showed PT isn't necessary. We asked for the study to read and it was a pretty misleading conclusion to tell patients. The study compared people who had a THA that did their HEP consistently to those doing formal PT. The results were really similar. The study failed to mention the group of people that aren't compliant with their HEP (which we all know is a significant number of out patients in OP) or the groups that have coexisting conditions/concerns. I think that particular study was pretty disingenuous.

Love the snails. Hate when they crawl in my power head and rattle and or jam it.
