Making a Difference

Hi guys,

This last month during my neuro placement I have realized how important we are to patients. Looking at it from a patients perspective; all they want to do is be able to get up and walk and we are the ones working with them towards that goal. This is the only thing that kept me motivated throughout my placement. The point of the story is that no matter how hard things get at prac and how crappy things are going with the supervisor and how stressed you are; just remember that we are here for the PATIENTS and that we are making a difference in their lives and it means a lot to them. Good luck in the new placement, see you guys soon.

Hey shadi
I agree to a certain extent in that, it is about the patient, but don't forget why we are there. It is aimed a being a learning expreience for us to work out the best way to get them up and walking through working through our own treatment techniques that we learnt, or via the help of our supervisor to guide us through other methods. I think developing professional working relationships are very important, as that is how we will be treated as new grads from what i can gather. So try and work through your difficulties with your supervisor if you can, to make it the best possible learning experience.
