Thanks, I Didn't Think of That

I sent a patient to physical therapy for his back pain a few weeks ago.

The therapy place sent over a summary note on him just now.

It ended with this line:

"Recommendation: Patient was told not to do things that make his back hurt."

Somebody has to do the obvious joke.

(It's not one of my favorites, either.)

Another college education wasted.

As a current PT student I weep. Loudly.

That's pretty much what my orthopedist told me. And yes, I was just about that pissed off.

On the other hand I was being seen at a rapid care clinic and diagnosed with the flu. I am a pharmacist and am still breastfeeding they didnot want to give me tamiflu unless I stopped breastfeeding. My sons pediatrician treated me instead....

Can't go wrong with a recommendation like that!

My OB pretty much told me the same thing when I was pregnant and pulled a muscle chasing a run away toddler "Don't do that again". Then, the next pregnancy, I had a terrible arthritis flare up. Every visit he said: "Don't do so much". I got concerned when, near the end, he expanded "Don't do so much. Take it easy". LOL.
