I had an interesting experience that I want to share. Last week, I evaluated a middle-aged man with muscular dystrophy. He had recently moved back home with his parent and was started on home health.
The man essentially told me that there was nothing I could do for him. He said that PT was all he needed. I explained that as an OT, my job was to teach him to take care of himself as much as possible and desired. But, he still felt that PT is what he needed. I am really perplexed as to why someone might value PT instead of OT? I have some ideas, which I'll share, but I hope readers are willing to discuss this situation.
