On General Hospital, there was a character (Carly) in a mental health center
that had been in occupational therapy. She showed her friend (Jason) what
she had made in OT (some kind of key chain). His response was, what does
this have to do with occupation? Then she responded with, I know! I was
so disgusted. They gave no explanation whatsoever for what occupational
therapy really is.
Actually, to further your disgust, they used the OT line in a page dedicated
to humorous one-liners in Soap Opera Digest. I wrote a letter to the editor
complaining as to what a disservice it was for OT patients and professionals
to be characterized in such a way. I also explained what OT really is, but
the letter was never published :o(

BTW, I remember on Melrose Place hearing OT being paged quite often. They
would fluctuate between OT and PT.
