Ive been working as a rehab tech for a year now as I’m applying for OT schools and this just gave me life! I swear me and my therapists lock eyes and say damn here we go another 15 mins added on to the session 👀🙃😂
My husband recovered in hospital after a catastrophic injury and coma. He learned to walk again and physical therapists are Angels on earth. Lol but yes lots of times the medical staff and PT staff seems to step on each other toes. But they were always professional and worked it out with the best interest of the patient at heart. We are so grateful for hospital/medical staff ❤❤
I used to work in an IRF. Every pt HAD to get 3 hours of therapy per day. It went like this: 1) Bring the pt to the gym. 2) Pt has to use the bathroom. 3) Pt is constipated and takes 15 minutes. 4) PM&R doc sees the pt in the gym and want to assess his progress. 5) Nursing decides it's time to feed and administer meds through his J. tube. 6) Director of Therapy Operations finds you at the end of the day and wants to know why your pt didn't get his three hours.
Hahahaha I swear this is standard practice for patients. I work both inpatient and outpatient rehab as a PT. Outpatient people always show up “on time” or five minutes late, they have to fill out their progress forms, then have to use the bathroom. Oh and it takes them five minutes to walk back into the gym. By the time our actual “treatment” starts it’s like twenty minutes in. Show up early folks and be ready when it’s time to start!
I’m an occupational therapist but of course this is still so relatable! 😂 In us therapists’ defense, sometimes “a couple quick questions” turns into a full blown interview (which sometimes isn’t even the doctor’s fault and the patient just goes off onto a tangent) and then we’re stuck. Although I will gladly welcome any doctor like the one in the video who will knock and ask politely if they can interrupt instead of the ones who will just barge right in, not even acknowledging the therapist and their ongoing session in any capacity, which has unfortunately happened all too often :/ Thank you to all the respectful physicians out there!!

Physical therapy is so incredibly important because most people don’t do physical therapy at home like they should so getting it done while you’re in front of the physical therapist super important
I am so glad Mr. Jones is in pt. He must be making progress and is slowly moving away from deaths door. Started to miss him. Lol Keep up the good work with our dear friend, Mr. Jones, doc! 💖💖💖
Yeah, it sucks for both sides. They each have many patients to see & not enough time in the day. If a patient isn’t available for PT/OT for whatever reason, they often don’t get seen til several hours later or the next day, depending on staffing etc. the post-op floor I charged had a small number of PT/OTs each day to go through 30-40 patients. And that was with one licensed therapist (one PT, one OT). They were a good group. I learned a lot watching & listening.
I am in acute care OT, and I can say this is 100% accurate. If the doctors very politely ask for 1 to 2 minutes, I have no issue. However a lot of the physicians - especially specialists - will walk in, cut me off midsentence, and take over for 20 minutes. I then either have to leave and not do my patients session, stay and not get to another patient, or leave to see someone else and cross my fingers that my patient will be available to work with me when I get back. Get old very fast when it happens three times a day
As a med student and paramedic, interrupting OT/PT to interview a patient is like interrupting an RT giving a nebulizer treatment to ask the patient if they're having trouble breathing. You guys have only limited time with the patient, and if you have to leave before their routine is finished, they don't get that therapy for that day.
Just stand tall, clear your throat and say “Oh, pardon me. We are are just starting his OT session. Could you please come back in about --- minutes?” They might really not have a clue, you just need to educate them!
I’m a new nurse and I did that once with an OT. But she told me to give her 2 minutes. We both were trying to do something important for the patient at that time. But I waited and it was fine. Because nurses are with the patient all the time.
Hahahha.. as a PT I can really relate to this. The thing is it's never 2 questions.. When patient sees their doctor, they want to have a long conversation which takes over the PTs time but is unbillable. So, it's best to have the entire therapy session undisturbed or just came again later.
@@ihx7 Im sorry but I don't think you fully understand. PT's time is just as important as anyone elses in the hospital. In bigger hospitals there are ~ 10-60 people per floor that have doctors orders for PT and only 1-2 PT's per floor. With 8 hour days and 10-60minute visits, you get to see 10 people on a "good day" and only 5 on the "worst days". Not to mention OT also has to see the same people. Also a doctor won't discharge most patients till they are signed off by PT so they have to be evaluated before they can leave. So give a little more love to DPT's they're doctors too ya know. (This message brought to you by a PT)
@@ihx7 It can go either way. In geneal, a new MD will make more than a new DPT. Though, a veteran DPT can make more than a new MD. But an X-ray machine and/or MRI machine could make 10x more than both. Most of the hospital bill is actually made up of the technology keeping the patient alive. In healthcare, everyone is equal worth to return a patient back to prior function, but hospitals and insurance companies think differently.
Lmao!!! I was literally about to suggest you make a video on this! Haha As an OT this happens all the time. The do or would either not acknowledge me and come in to just talk or acknowledge me and tell me it would only take 1 min but actually it turns out to be 10+ min! Then our productivity goes down because we can’t account for that time and our managers have to talk to us or we have to stay late ☹️. But the little things that brighten my day is when a doc actually says “oh, you’re working with OT? I’ll come back later” or “thank you” heck, I’d even take a “hello! Oh Therapy! Sorry to interrupt!” (Acknowledgement that I’m in the room 🥺🥲)
I just appreciate the nice wigs you use in your skits. Not some busted wig or the allusive towel on the head. Those kill me too, but I love the attention to detail.
When I was in dietary I would be halfway through getting Picky Patty's lunch order. (Actually getting this person to choose something they would want to eat because they haven't had solids in 2 weeks and are nervous) and the Doctor and 2 nurses with clipboards come in and start talking over me and asking the patient questions.... Like... rude. 🤷♀️ This happened multiple times a day with different staff. I can remember maybe 1 doctor who would hang out on the couch and listen to what their patient was ordering and politely wait for us to finish. Every employee cares for their paitents from janitorial to CEO, no one is better than the other. 🙌
@@user-rr3yw9dn1l Lol. I've done that too when I've checked on a patient 3 times and I have 1 and a half hours to get 60 patients orders. Gotta get that order if they want to eat or nursing has to help them call down. 🤷♀️
Pretty accurate! I don’t mind interruptions that much, just don’t try to send Mr Jones home after seeing he can walk 2 m from his chair and back with a frame during your rounds when, in fact, Mr Jones lives alone, was walking with no walking aides previously, has a steep driveway and 10 steps just to get to the front door and his bathroom and bedroom are on the second floor of his house ok? Just let him have his Physical Therapy (or Physiotherapy as we call it around this part of the world) 😆
Hahaha so true. PT here. Had an ER physician calling for me to turn around on my way home so I could go to the ER to evaluate whether or not a 90 something year old patient living alone with a L femur fracture (non weight bearing) and a R ankle fracture (partial weight bearing) could go home or if he needed to be admitted…. Bruh I can tell you the answer to that question without looking at the guy.
PREACH. Do you really want to send this person home when I had to lift them off their bed and hang on for dear life while they tried to fall twice on the way to the bathroom? Do I really have to fight this battle?
As a transporter I’ve had many doctors try to stop me in the middle of the hall to ask the patient questions and I’ve gotten to the point where I just don’t stop
I've been telling people about you for weeks - and I'm thrilled to know that when your name is well-known, I'll have been an EARLY fan! Less thrilled that apparently they're now making infants doctors, but that's my fault for getting older...
Every time... I can stop for a minute. A single minute. One minute or less. Some docs I've tried to let ask "a couple questions" stayed for over 5 minutes and a few even sat down as they continued talking.....
If you’re nosy and you wanna know why my cousin needs physical therapy They can’t walk they are six they are unable to walk my cousin is put on medication that really helps and she is currently guessing by the age of nine she’ll be able to walk
I haven’t watched one of his videos in so long I almost got used to female characters being portrayed with shower caps. Thank god for the wigs of the great Doc Schmidt😂
The lab always does this to me when I'm trying to do therapy. I usually just end the session and pick it up later. The patient needs all of us, no matter how poor the timing lol.
I am a PTA, so true. Especially with the nurses needing to give meds, hooking up IVs, etc. I try my best to make sure that nursing/doctors get what they need done and allow the patient to get a good full treatment.
If your medical insight is half what your interpersonal insight is you are a kick ass doc. Not to mention skit writing and editing. If I could work emoji would be tipping my hat 🤠. That doesn't look right..
As others who work in rehab have said this can be super annoying lol. Most of the time it’s not a big deal, but some MD’s just don’t care and spend 20 minutes talking right in the middle of my treatment sessions. Too many times I walk in to work with someone and they are either eating or ask me to “come back later”. I’ve learned patients eat breakfast anywhere from 8am to noon and lunch from noon to 2pm. PT in the hospital can be frustrating at times lol.
PTs tend to politely over-defer, at least where I've done rotations. Like, it's nice that they're respectful, but I wish it more often went both ways! I like how your videos validate both sides. It's refreshing.
I know nothing about medicine but I imagine those physical therapists are very adamant about their part in the medical process because people aren't going to keep on a physical regiment after they leave and during the healing process I imagine that is particularly important.
Wait your turn, Doc! “Do you have someone else you can see?”😂🤪 As a PTA who worked at a military and teaching hospital, this hits a tender nerve! A general rule..whoever is in the room, that is THEIR time with the patient.
When I worked renal at a large level 1 trauma….. we were ALWAYS last to get the patient. They could have been Pre op with a K+ of 8.1 and we would have to fight to get the patient. (That’s with all procedures, not just PT). We once had a pt Pre-op CRTx w/ an elevated K+ and they took him to the OR anyway. I got a page from a super angry Renal attending to come dialyze the pt in the OR. Someone (fellow or resident) was in BIG trouble that day….. But I got to watch a kidney transplant, so 🤷🏽♀️!
Doctors did this constantly to me, I was a phlebotomy for 22 yrs. Our boss made us step aside whenever a Dr came in. Makes you feel like the Dr is saying your nothing to him/ her
Funnily enough, this exact thing happened to me (as a patient) while I was in hospital! I could feel the awkwardness lol but it was also irritating as I had been waiting several days to see both parties only for one to have to come back (a long while of course) later!
SLP here! Very rare the doc agrees to come back later. But since I’m usually working on cognition goals I use the time to ask the doctor questions. If they’re interrupting my session then I’m interrupting their check up. 😝
PT was so much like this that when I was in the hospital with a comminuted femur fracture on one side and a broken olecranon on the other, my mom the OT had to be like, "Tell them to go away--you have that right." Took me 3 days to see the doc because PT kept essentially shoving him out

I like how he shows both sides misunderstanding each other, that's so human
To err is human.
Exactly ❤️
i declare that the woman is wrong
As an OT, this is so accurate, it’s not directed at you but just making sure we get our minutes 🙃! Great skit!!!🧡
Yeah except in real life the doctor just barges in and asks all of their questions…this is better
I’m a SLP and totally agree.
Ive been working as a rehab tech for a year now as I’m applying for OT schools and this just gave me life! I swear me and my therapists lock eyes and say damn here we go another 15 mins added on to the session 👀🙃😂
Was gonna say, at least they held candor with each other.
my mom is an ot and she tells me about it all the time
Mr. Jones might as well start calling this hospital his home. He is not leaving anytime soon 😁
Well not with the influx of patients.
Hospitals are a maximum of patients and running low on patience.
@@ericolens3 it was a joke leave it at that
I thought he died- he fr just said “nah, i ain’t leaving” and came back alive lol
Thank you to all the OT, PT, ST and AT out there. You helped so many people. Bless all of you.
You forgot my TT. (Auntie, lol)
We appreciate the recognition 🙌🏾😊
Moon Pies are the sh*t.

Agree 💯 percent! Just trying to do our jobs🤗❤️
I’m an OT too! I don’t find many of us out in the wild!
When they say acouple of minutes it means an hour😭

Lmfao and as a patient I am quite the talker XD
Physical therapy is so incredibly important because most people don’t do physical therapy at home like they should so getting it done while you’re in front of the physical therapist super important
i don't know if my favorite thing is the expression on his face as he leaves or the pause between "does it help?" and "yeah, i think so"
"I think so" wins for me. "When I stop using it, my heartburn is even worse!" Rebound acid hypersecretion is indeed a thing.
@@tejoned for real! It sucks so bad

I'm a med student and this is so accurate!! That literally happened again yesterday
I can feel the tension and frustration through the screen
As a PT student,
super accurate 🤣
That's pharmacy and PT EVERY... SINGLE...DAY
Man Mr. Jones is just one accident-prone guy.
As a transporter I’ve had many doctors try to stop me in the middle of the hall to ask the patient questions and I’ve gotten to the point where I just don’t stop

Less thrilled that apparently they're now making infants doctors, but that's my fault for getting older...
Bwahaha I'm a nurse and I feel like that every time a MD walks in the room when I'm trying to do something for the patient.
I have yet to encounter a doctor who would step out while I'm working with a patient.
Every time... I can stop for a minute. A single minute. One minute or less. Some docs I've tried to let ask "a couple questions" stayed for over 5 minutes and a few even sat down as they continued talking.....
Our therapists always allow me to see the pt during therapy. Sometimes, its better to see yourself so you can appreciate the PT/OT recommendations.
Poor Mr.Jones always in the hospital 😂
My cousin needs physical therapy and I can confirm this is true this happens a lot
If you’re nosy and you wanna know why my cousin needs physical therapy They can’t walk they are six they are unable to walk my cousin is put on medication that really helps and she is currently guessing by the age of nine she’ll be able to walk
Imagine being the patient, as per the system you accomodate the help, or else
I haven’t watched one of his videos in so long I almost got used to female characters being portrayed with shower caps. Thank god for the wigs of the great Doc Schmidt😂

So accurate anywhere in the world #physiotherapistinGhana🇬🇭😂
We interrupt therapy so often to do rounds and ask follow up questions. Sooo accurate. 😀🤣😅😂
OMG this is so true but like at least address the room, some Drs just walk in and ignore me literally standing a patient up
As others who work in rehab have said this can be super annoying lol. Most of the time it’s not a big deal, but some MD’s just don’t care and spend 20 minutes talking right in the middle of my treatment sessions. Too many times I walk in to work with someone and they are either eating or ask me to “come back later”. I’ve learned patients eat breakfast anywhere from 8am to noon and lunch from noon to 2pm.

ive seen this dynamic while in inpatient rehab lol
This happened literally every time while I was in the hospital. OT kept trying to come in while I was on the bedside commode 😂
the talking at the end was too funny 🤣🤣
I'm in and out of hospital for the father in law, and it's honestly hilarious seeing how true some of these are haha
This actually happens almost every day I've worked as a PT in the hospital 😅
Glad you showed both sides of the story though!

So true and only would be known by those rounding in the hospital haha
This is so true as a nurse!!
Wait your turn, Doc! “Do you have someone else you can see?”😂🤪
As a PTA who worked at a military and teaching hospital, this hits a tender nerve! A general rule..whoever is in the room, that is THEIR time with the patient.
The insight is astonishing ✨
As an OT, I typically let the Dr jump in for the 2 minutes max that they need to spend with the patient. It's no biggie
You forgot to add cleaning lady who is wrapping up the room
I made a different video about this 😁
When I worked renal at a large level 1 trauma….. we were ALWAYS last to get the patient. They could have been Pre op with a K+ of 8.1 and we would have to fight to get the patient.

This is the most homest hospital I have ever seen.🤣 Okay the do show furnished hospital rooms. 🤔
Mr. Jones has been in the hospital one too many times.
No love yet for RDs?! Happy to give content ideas if you need! We’ve all got plenty of stories, I’m sure 😂
Funnily enough, this exact thing happened to me (as a patient) while I was in hospital! I could feel the awkwardness lol but it was also irritating as I had been waiting several days to see both parties only for one to have to come back (a long while of course) later!
I'm gonna go ahead and guess the physical therapist cannot, in fact, do that at any time, hence the appointment
Oooo I would love to see a skit with a dietitian at some point! How are your interactions with them in the hospital or in a patients room?😊
I’m a PTA and this is accurate but I make sure my patient is at least sitting up when the doctor comes in, if you know you know 🙃
I feel like this works for SO many jobs in all industries
That actually made me realize a lot
Oh man, you’re good at these! Yes I used to get so annoyed
You have to grab the physiotherapist when you can......they often can't come back.
Physical Therapist here: Good to know that the docs feel the same way xD
Beautiful!
I used to work in a hospital and it's so true!😂
SLP here! Very rare the doc agrees to come back later. But since I’m usually working on cognition goals I use the time to ask the doctor questions. If they’re interrupting my session then I’m interrupting their check up. 😝
As a mr. jones I always like to hear about what the hospital staff have to say lol
oh my gawwwwd! this is getting so good!!😆😆😆👍
Just another reason I’m grateful to be working in OP PT lol
Fr I will be checking on my patients wound on they bust in like chill
Lol as someone whose GF is a physical therapist and me an Ortho this hits home
PT was so much like this that when I was in the hospital with a comminuted femur fracture on one side and a broken olecranon on the other, my mom the OT had to be like, "Tell them to go away--you have that right." Took me 3 days to see the doc because PT kept essentially shoving him out
I work in a hospital and have witnessed this exact interaction between OT/PTs and Doctors 😂
Okay, I work on the rehab floor of our hospital and this is so accurate! Why is it precisely the time during a therapy session that this occurs?!
