One week down

Congrats on everyones first week down. Presbyterian (inpatient) has been such an awesome experience thus far. My CI lets me pick the patients that we work with/eval. based on what patient population I want....so I pick all the neuro/oncology patients cuz the post-op ortho patients are so boring (no offense to all you ortho people)! My muscles are getting a workout having to support stroke patients weight all day but it is worth it because I love it!! Anyway, Monday my CI is cutting the umbilical cord and I am in charge of treating/evaluations of all the patients...however I won't ever get total independence because Medicare (which is all our patients) won't pay unless a licensed therapist is present at all times. :(. Also, the Presby clinic is amazing...we have a car inside the clinic, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a mock grocery store!! Good luck to you all and I look forward to reading your blogs. Oh I almost forgot, Guess who's pt. I am working with..............give up.........Joney Pony's!!
