Guest guest Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Love the story. I enjoy home health and asking older folks about their previous life. So many interesting stories out there. I remember chatting with one man who was in Patton's army and told so many stories. another traveled the country hopping onto moving trains. another was started parachuting and made money jumping into weddings as one of the youngest parachutist . I can go on and on.. Just love the people and stories. Steve Passmore PT, MS Healthy Recruiting Tools spass@... Phone: Fax: " What We Did For You Yesterday Is History.

As 4:30 rolled around and I was mentally ending my day, I see someone walk in and sign in, so I go look the schedule, crap, I forgot I had a 4:30 new patient and she was right on time. As she fills out her paperwork I get my mind back in the game and catch a second wind. I perform a chart review and nothing strikes me as unique, so I walk into the room and when I see her face it hits me like a ton of bricks, it is " Jane's " mom. Jane was a patient of mine 2 years ago, she was a young 29 year old with terminal cancer. But Jane as so much more, she was every bodies friend, she always had a smile...regardless of her pain, or of her prognosis. Jane became every bodies hero, and when she succumb to her diagnosis everyone cried, she was one of those special patients that you never forget. Anyway, Jane's mom and I got caught up for a while, we laughed, we cried, and even found time to evaluate and treat her. I finished up with her at 6:30, and while the support personal were not happy with me, it reminded why I love this profession so much. So in spite of Medicare, insurance companies, worker comp case mgrs, taxes and everything else that goes with our typical Mondays, we do make a difference in people's lives, and there is nothing I would rather do.
