Hello there,
I'm a second year physical therapy student and very interested in the Neuro field. One of our professors is eager for us to participate in a forum such as this one in order to gain appreciation for the experiences people go through when confronted with such a life changing experience. I think from her perspective, she wanted us to see both the psychosocial aspects as well as the practical "how do I accomodate/adapt physically" perspectives. I've spent some time peering into your world (it feels a bit voyeristic...) and feel honored to be able to witness just how tough you guys are. I am also saddened to hear that many folks have had such negative experiences with physicians (and possibly other health care providers?)
If you have a few minutes, I'd love to hear from you what you value in a health care provider (in other words, as a physical therapist what can I do to best assist you?)
Thank you again for this opportunity to share a very special place with you online. I truly hope that I have not intruded (and I'll respect your wishes and not return if you voice that concern.)
