How often does this happen? The eval begins and you conversation with the patient goes like this, "Show me supination. Okay good, do you have any external rotation in your shoulder. Hmm, how's your proprioception?" Never, right? We're constantly translating for patients... but not with this one.
Introduce Bill. Bill's a 47 year old male- very athletic, musician, gymnast coach, father, husband, and CLINICAL SPECIALIST PHYSICAL THERAPIST! He knows the lingo. He knows the hospital course. He knows the long road he has ahead of him.
I am so glad to be walking this road with him.
