We get a lot of feedback from patients on their way out of our occupational therapy facility. Most laud us for helping them get better. Some begrudge us for being such hard taskmasters. Still, others thank us for our service but inform us that they wish they had never had to see us in the first place.
I don’t blame them. The process as a whole involves either a major injury or severe medical downturn followed by several days of hospitalization, then up to months of rehabilitation. By the time they get to the clinic, they’ve had a lot of pain, anguish, and worry, accompanied by hospital food and a never-ending stream of new faces shod in medical clothing.
