Questions? Comments? Complaints?

Sometimes I say that in my work life...to my patients if I think they have any.  To my trainees, coworkers, to my computer or the universe at large.  Most responses are "not right now but I may think of some later."

You can call me, I say.  Here is the phone number.  For my patients that's a number that leads to a phone answering system that may get them to 1. a scheduler, 2. a secretary, 3. a phone triage nurse, or 4. someone who will connect them to my phone or send me a message to contact them. 

Most of my patients do not call because if they have a question about their exercises then they see "not calling but waiting until someone shows up on their doorstep" as a legitimate reason not to do their exercises. 

I agree.  Which makes me a mediocre therapist but an empathetic one.

I don't much like exercising either.  Unless it's a walk in the woods, as you, Gentle Readers, well know.

OK - that covers questions.

Comments - I can't comment on Kathleen's blog.

  4. You should have been my dad's physical therapist. At least his laugh muscles would be well toned.
