Ron: I am curious. During the course of your conversation/s, what do they have to say about PT (assuming they receive both)?

Wells, OTD, OTR/L -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Carson Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 6:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OTlist] Useless - again Today, I evaluated a patient (a friend) who was just d/c'd from rehab. In the course of the eval, I asked about her OT at rehab. As expected, she said it was pretty much useless. She said it was just a bunch of wrist exercises and batting around balloon. (I'm not saying that this is all there was to the OT that my friend received, but this is what she told me today). As "interesting" as my friend's comments are, her sister said something even better. The sister said that "most OT is useless but if they would do what they were supposed to do, they would make a big difference in patient's lives". I think this is a pretty profound statement from a person who has seen several people in her family receive both OT and PT. IF these two people represent even a small fraction of what other people think about adult phys-dys OT, there's a bunch of us doing something wrong!!! Think about it!
