Subject: [OTlist] Antedots about OT

You  guys  know  that I like sharing my experiences about being an OT.
Well, here's another one.

I've been working with a patient for 6 weeks because of LE lymphedema.
Her  husband  has  been  in/out  of the hospital for various problems.
After  his  most  recent hospitalization, it looks like the husband is
going  to  in-patient  rehab. My patient and her family what me to see
the husband at home as soon as he's discharged.

In  preparing  for  the husband to be transferred to rehab, the family
met  with  the rehab director. They told the director that they wanted
me  to see the patient at home as soon as he was discharged. As usual,
the  director  balked because I am an OT and two because I don't offer
PT.  Apparently  in  the  conversation  between  the  director and the
family,  the topic of PT and OT came up. The director explained to the
family the differences between OT and PT.

I was going to tell everyone what was said, but maybe it's more fun to
hear people guesses.

Ron
