Just a reminder that we still teach chest PT and it should remain a basic competency for us, even though many of those pulmonary and respiratory health functions have been taken over by others in interprofessional turf wars, the weirdness of which is exposed in times like these.

Physical Therapists Adapting to COVID-19, But Some Are Struggling medpagetoday.com/infectiousdise…

“What is most impressive...is not the ventilators, CT scanners or other high-tech wizardry. It’s the compassion and courage of health workers, and the intervention that struck me the most was decidedly low-tech — the hand-holding.” #patientengagement nytimes.com/2020/04/11/opi…

Many #COVID patients are not used to or have never been hospitalized. They are scared, alone and fearful. Take the extra time to hold your patient’s hand, talk about their fears, and explain what is happening. Chat about life/hobbies to keep the mood up. It’s worth it. #acutePT

I don’t know who needs to hear this but we have an entire #COVID #ICU with NO ONE over age 68. Median age in 50s. Majority under 55. And plenty of people under 40. #Covid_19 #CORONAVIRUS #pccm #icurehab #acutePT And a multi-d team facing it and working hard to help #pandemic
