I originally chose to pursue physical therapy because I wanted a job that allowed me to interact with people, was not a desk job, challenged me and allowed me to be in the sports field. As my frustration grew with my previous company, I started to forget about why I chose the field in the first place, found myself constantly complaining and I was just going through the motions at work. This was something I told myself I would never do in this field because I know what it's like to be a patient. While I may have never been the smartest in my class, I never wanted to settle for being an average therapist.
I knew I needed a change of scenery, luckily, I had a couple friends who worked at other clinics who referred me to their jobs. I was blessed to have the opportunity to start at another clinic in early March and has been 100% been the right decision for me. The manager cares for the therapists and encourages us to attend continuing education courses. All the co-workers are helpful and overall it's just a fun work environment. I also have the privilege of working with my brother and it really is a blessing to work with friends. I do miss working with a few co-workers at my old job (don't worry Judy I didn't forget about you), but I am very happy where I am now. I feel my passion for the field has been restored and I hope it is showing up in the treatment of my patients.
As I move forward, I hope that I always remember the original reason why I pursued this field; to help people, to never get complacent in my treatments and to continually learn to do better by my patients. I hope people are able to get a glimpse of Christ in my treatment and compassion towards them.
