sweet success!

Hard to believe just how close we are hey! Well this past week was a delight, as it saw my successful completion of my Cardio prac and additionally I could say that, in a few cases, I had helped some people go home from this large urban hospital.
Carrying on from my last post- about the pt. from the sub-continent, this week I continued to treat her. The session with the interpreter was really helpful (always remember to speak with the pt. whilst doing so) and then I taught the family how to do some basic ACBT's with modified percs and finally liaising with her doctor I set up a family meeting where management of her condition was discussed. I felt like a REAL physio!
This grateful women was a quick study, learning how to swap out her oxygen from the wall to her ambulant O2 (and get the ball at the top of the line just right), then when she was SOB she did all the strategies to relieve this in textbook fashion!
I am sure all of us has had these glimpses into the start of a challenging and rewarding career and I wish you all the best for the PCR. Chao, Matt
