Trying to recover from the scars pt school finals leave on my soul

Well friends, we made it.

Finals have been conquered, my mental status has been restored to “stable”, and the nightmares of practical exams have kind of subsided. Now if you don’t mind, Im going to go outside and play. And I recommend you do the same.

As such, we will reconvene when classes (unfortunately) resume in September.

AKA HAPPY SUMMER YALL 🙌🏻 for those of you headed out to clinicals, tune back in every once in a while. There may yet be a nugget of physical therapy puns still on this page over the summer 😉

Regarding comments from non-PT majors

Does anyone else want to force people who try to comfort you by saying “aw, school can’t be that bad!” to sit through one (ONE) exam?

Let me know how you bullshit your way through a pathological gait analysis. It’s not *that* bad!

Anywho, carry on, nerds. Summer is coming.

And you aren’t even mad. You just passively understand this is how life will be now.

Intro to My Blog

anarticleaday:

Hey readers!

My name is Cristina and I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy with my degree from University of Miami (go canes!). I have been practicing for 6 months now in an outpatient orthopedic clinic. University of Miami did an excellent job at instilling the importance of evidence based practice in their students. I enjoy reading recent research because it not only allows you to perform the best possible patient care but it also allows you to answer patient questions with the utmost confidence, and you have the proof to back up your answer.

With a busy work schedule and personal life, I know it can be difficult to be disciplined and stay on top of the current research out there. I created this page, mostly for selfish reasons, to prompt me to read multiple articles a week so I am aware of the current literature in PT. I figured, why not make a page so other clinicians can reference topics and articles quickly?

So here I go……

I am going to attempt to stay on schedule with a different topic each day of the week.

Monday: Knee
Tuesday: Back Pain/Spine
Wednesday: Shoulder
Thursday: Foot and Ankle
Friday: TGIF! Wild Card

This schedule is temporary. Going to try it it to see how it flows and may end up changing the topics once the blog is up and running.

Each entry will have the following information:

1. Type of Research/Level of Evidence
2. Summary of subjects used, methods, results
3. Conclusion/Bottom Line/Clinical Relevance
4. Article Grade: A, B, C (this is strictly based on my opinion and critique of article depending on different aspects such as type of study, sample size, methods etc.)

Before wrapping up this entry, I would like to disclose that this blog and it’s contents have absolutely nothing to do with the practice I work for or the company views. This is just for fun and a place for me to write about what I am reading.

I will be kicking off the first entry on Monday April 4th! Thanks for visiting and happy researching!!

HEY FOLLOW THIS KID.

Research is important friends.

Pro tip for PT school

To decrease your stress level:

1. Don’t check your grades.

Trust me, if you’re failing out someone will definitely tell you.

Do y'all ever feel like

You know a frustrating amount of information?

Like you can totally tell when something is wrong, and can probably even identify what is causing it. BUT you have no idea how to fix it?

And THATS how they keep you in this pt school thing. Bc of you just drop out now you’ll only ever be like “well you DEF have a right functional thoracic scoliosis from carrying your backpack over one shoulder, but idk see a real PT I am just half a PT”

You know, that month before finals when there’s an exam twice a week, every week. Also known as “Finals in April”.

My self confidence

It fluctuates anywhere between “holy shit I am so fucking smart at kines” to “holy shit I am the most pathetic excuse for a student of physical therapy” and most of the time I’m at one of the two extremes and it’s exhausting

Hey PT nerds

If you have read some great peer reviewed research lately, share it! I’d love to see what is being done. Better to get started reading up on the latest and greatest work in the field if we’re going to top them!

There are only so many exams you can take before you start taking it out on your belongings

It’s a fine, hair of a line. Kendall usually takes a beating. Then you just start watching Netflix while a quiet voice in your head is scolding you but you’re too busy deliberately not caring and like It’s all a mess basically.

Pro tip for PT school

Wear sunglasses inside. This gives you three different benefits:

1. No one knows you’re sleeping
2. No one knows you’re crying
3. No one knows you’re silently judging their gait pattern.
