I am about to enter NS in the fall and have been providing pt care for 7+ years now as a tech in various capacities. Lately the pts have really been getting on my nerves and I am wondering what the heck am I doing furthering my career in pt care??? I really love helping ppl and the practice of medicine, but it really seems that ppl do not want help, but just to exert their control on you, to vent on you, to complain to you, etc. etc. Ppl just do not seem respectful and I have a hard time not internalizing it I guess.
I'm afraid that one day I am just going to explode and say "Shut up! Shut Up! SHUT UP!!!!!"
