Well, not really horror but I think it's a catchy title! <smile> Today, my 80 y/o patient's daughter was present for therapy. She says something about continuing our PT. I give the same ol' standard spiel about being an OT and she say's "Oh, I see it on your shirt".
A few minutes later I started to explain a little about occupation and OT. The daughter chimes in: "Oh, Mom had OT in the SNF. About this time, the daughter starts doing the UE cycle 'dance'. And then the Mom chimes in about places pegs in a mat. The Mom says; "It was stupid, they just wanted to see if I had a brain". I tried doing the two-step to explain about the "theory" behind the pegs but they weren't really interested. I just sort of said that they had been through some 'contrived' OT. Aaah, it never ends!
