[QUOTE="jvandy50, post: 16551623, member: 175114"] I went to PT school with a guy who is exactly 10 years older than me. He turned 50, and i 40 this year. I have thought more than once if i were him and had that extra decade of retirement put back, I’d probably quit working right now. Turns out, i talked to him last week and he is actually contemplating it. He didn’t really say why, but i could tell in his voice he’s simply fed up. Little things that people don’t think of right now... 1) A complete disruption of communication...rarely are our patients good historians, either dementia or just little to no medical knowledge. A caregiver many times is not allowed in the doctor’s visit or hospital with them. Many of them have no idea why they’re having therapy when i show up. They don’t know what tests were ran, couldn’t tell ya if they had a FX or a CVA...forget about meds. (I do home health also so this stuff is not always accessible in a computer) 2) the nursing home is so obsessed over cleanliness and masks that everything else is getting neglected...like actual health issues are being put aside. I continue to find people that are supposed to be wearing O2 and they aren’t, sitting there desatting to the 70s/80s...but got that ****in mask on though. 3) i had a total knee come in last week...tested positive 2 days later...they make us discharge. They would not let me go in and treat her even though i made her my last patient of the day and I said I’d leave after her. Just a few little examples of things that are going to continue to make proper care difficult. I’m wondering at what point covid liability and neglect/malpractice liability crash into each other.
