When i fist started out, i gave a patient with a psych history money because i felt so bad for the story she was telling me.
She got too attached to me and then got really mad because i wouldnt put pain patches on her back because she coukd not reach to do it herself ( PTs cannot administer meds). She waited for me outside and yelled at me and then raced into the street on her scooter, alnost got hit by a car and ended up getting ,chased down by the cops later that night.
My boss was like why woukd you ever give her money and i was really embarassed by my lack of professionalism.
We all make mistakes we regret. And just so you dont feel bad, in my office we were all confused about whether you could print up your own medical reports or your kids too.
