Omg. I hope they didn’t hear bacj from the physiotherapist because they’ve slready been fire. That’s horrific. Clearly this person shouldn’t be working with let alone accessing patients
Exactly! How can you even be a field where you have to “help” and care for others? In it strictly for the $ and no other reason
That person should lose their job.
There are enough elected politicians that think the exact same way about blue collar workers.
I am not surprised by this at all. Medical “professionals” need to do better. All judgements,assumptions need to stay at the door. Where has the professionalism gone?! Canadian healthcare workers can sometimes be so bitter and rude
I self medicate and I’m very honest with myself.
14 years doing that awkward lifting? Lol that sucks but at least he made I past 2-3 years
Why is he reading his file?
Apparently we ALL need to READ OUR FILES, witch.
Why not read it?
@Kelly Carver : Why not? It is his file.
The personal opinions, and personal attack against this patient by a physiotherapist appear totally uncalled for. His license should be put up for review, and at a minimum, he should sustain a suspension for his actions. For the patient, he should seek legal council for recourse surrounding libel and defamation of character.
That pt needs to be fired
The physio should me suspended for a couple of years and pay the dude a lot
The physiotherapist should be forced to deliver furniture for a living. Then ask him to look at that file again
That’s just rude profiling. Sad to see this train of thought. Perhaps more testing and recovery time with therapy would be a better professional protocol. Not name calling. Yes, more interest in those abusing the system could be called upon, as some could call into question at least one person they see on ashi as they build fences, chop wood, crawl on roofs, …, you know what I mean. Are we not above name calling?
How does one read their profiling? Interesting
Exactly the way Trudeau talks about hard working Canadians behind their backs.
Words can sometimes sting harder than blows …
Wow. Describing an albertan.
Can you imagine, even 20 years ago if this had been a news headline? Shows
how far we’ve sunk
British Columbia is incredibly classist. I’ve been on the receiving end of similar treatment here. I’m sorry this person went thru this experience.
Toronto is pretty bad for classism as well, especially in the health care industrial complex. And the hypocrisy about inclusion is not far behind.
WOW!!! That Physiotherapist is in need of some serious therapy.
It is not you…..the Physiotherapist hates himself and life , and needs psychological counselling!
Should not be permitted to be a physiotherapist until he can get His act together.
The physiotherapist following Trudeau’s lead… the example has been set unfortunately.
Probly an accurate description though!
