The Fourth Job: May 1, 2014

This meeting we primarily talked about the different types of doctors and physicians that can diagnose and treat patients. For example, physical therapists are not able to make decisions and diagnose injuries. They are the ones who perform treatment; however, they are treatments orders given by the doctors. This discouraged me a bit because I want the opportunity to observe and injury and based on that make an accurate diagnosis and set up a treatment process. My mentor asked me to go online that night and research the various types of doctors or physicians. After talking I was able to sit in another treatment session. I noticed that my mentor is very thorough with his work. He has a lot of information in all of his patient's files which shows that he aware of his responsibility. During my free time I continue to sort through christmas cards.
