....to vent....
So my corrections officier (T10 Asia A) with a spinal cord injury is getting ready to get braces to help him stand and take a few steps.
I have gone out of my way to contact the rehab center in Vallejo and discuss him with other therapists, I even talked with his Physiatrist one on one to try and coordinate this for him.
Yesterday I got an e-mail that the Physiatrist sent (to me and the director of rehab at Vallejo) stating that she does not think we can offer him appropriate care in our service area, as I do not have the experience to handle it.
Just typing this makes my palms sweaty as I feel like I got socked in the chest. Sure, I do not have extensive experience in this regard, but I have busted my you know what to coordinate care for him and to keep her up to date on what we are working on.
I really thought she was confident in me as a PT for the neurologic population, and instead of quietly letting me know she had concerns....she broadcasted it....to the one place that I would go work in a heart beat if the opportunity was there.
Ugh.
Needed to dump that.....have a nice full day of work to try and get to....gotta drop the baggage from this morning somewhere.....

Ok,this person is ridiculous.You are one of the most dedicated PTs I know and I know you want the best for your patients.I don't know why shes doing that but she must be a very stupid person.
Don't be upset,girl.Believe in what you learned and what you know you are-a wonderful PT
I think it's just another example of how much younger workers can be underestimated in their abilities. I can certainly understand your frustration, you work so hard. Try not to let this ruin the knowledge of everything you have done for him.....
So sorry... that is horrible and unprofessional. Just remember you are a good therapist.
Oh that is so annoying, and really unprofessional. If she had genuine concerns about your experience, she should have discussed it with you before resorting to the ever-catty cc. You may be a new doctor, but you're still an effing doctor, and this is not your first patient.
Don't worry, love. You two will cross paths again I'm sure, and it will most likely be a situation where you get to educate her on how knowledgeable us youngins can be. ;) xoxo
