Know what really gets me going about work? People who call up to cancel appointments because their child is sore from a sport. We are a PHYSICAL THERAPY OFFICE FOR ATHLETES. I understand that some of our patients are able to participate in their sports, I've typed the clearing note myself. However, this is usually the case -
Jon - "Your ligament is detached. I'm astounded that you still run, let alone jog. Until your done with therapy, tell your couch your not cleared to play."
Timmy, the innocent child - "Ok, I will."
Moronic Parent - "What did the nice therapist say, Timmy?"
Timmy, the innocent child - "I shouldn't play until they fix my detached ligament."
Moronic Parent - "What does he know? You need playtime for your scholarships! Come on, we can still make football practice tonight!"
If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go run headfirst into a wall for just acknowledging that situation and how often it happens.
