Why are you still working in the clinic? ｜The Intertidal Zone of Reality and Dreams (1)

Residents who have read Baker's previous articles know:

Orthopedics, rehabilitation clinics, hospitals, perhaps the medical treatment under "Health Insurance",

absolutely necessary;

Only under the distortion of "commercial atmosphere",

Medical treatment filtered by "good quality and low price",

What remains is the small but huge "quality of service"; and the "quality of medical care" that is gradually transparent and gradually receding...

Physiotherapists are floating and composure in such torrent downloads - they can see clearly, but their limbs are unimaginably heavy.

In Taiwan's university education, physiotherapy students are taught on the premise of "independent thinking, evaluation, and treatment".

I can guarantee that the vast majority of physiotherapists who graduate from medical college are better than the one who always sits in the office and moves his fingers,

The doctor who asks you to go to rehabilitation after looking at you has the ability to cure you.

It's a pity that, just as we entered the final year of internship with enthusiasm,

Most of the units they go to are "teaching center" hospitals that focus on instrument therapy.

As you can imagine, our baptism before entering the workplace is not a "physical therapy center",

but to teach you how to put down the weapon in your hand,

Use the muscles you have worked hard for a long time to "serve" the society,

See who the "master" you want to serve in society is.

Most aspiring, vindictive therapists will struggle through hell at this stage,

Then choose to move forward blindfolded or give up...

So we who took the national entrance exam and finally got out of the society,

Some eyes are dazed, Ao Buyou throws their resumes to health care clinics or hospitals;

Some were not successfully brainwashed and went to the "Physical Therapy Center".

Under the health insurance, the salary of physical therapists is actually quite good.

At least the starting salary is much higher than the average office worker.

Then, no then, it is the salary that remains unchanged for ten thousand years,

After all, in the eyes of physician bosses, we are "costs" rather than "assets".

However, such a stable income does provide a lot of "safety";

The business model of physiotherapy is actually similar to "beauty":

Pure performance or fixed salary plus performance, basically you have to do to make money,

Even though the final salary is much higher than that of the clinic and hospital, the unstable situation still makes people panic.

"Exchanging dignity for stability" or "exchanging high salary for dignity",

It is believed to be the most difficult issue for many physical therapists in career selection.

what about me? Why am I still in the clinic?

Mentioned in a previous article:

My first job was a newly established rehabilitation department in a regional hospital,

The reason for going in at that time was that "you can create the physical therapy mode you want from scratch".

I have never thought that instrument therapy is completely meaningless;

For some patients whose body has been in an irreversible state,

It's really a relatively cheap and comfortable option,

It is an indisputable fact that "manual therapy has its limits".

Therefore, orthopaedic physiotherapy that coexists with "instrument, manual, and exercise" treatment can be regarded as "whole person" .

It cannot be said that it can cure all diseases, but at least all ages can have its therapeutic significance.

I really wanted to try this kind of opportunity, but the end result was unsatisfactory,

"Sure enough, in modern Taiwanese society, such an approach is not feasible." The thought came to my mind,

So I thought of opening my own studio, and I have the content of the previous article,

While the results weren't great, I still saw some potential.

Due to various factors, the studio must be stopped,

I also found some problems,

So I still want to try to do something, but these attempts can't affect my life,

After all, for me, "family and life are more important than dreams",

I don't want it when I'm trying my best to achieve the peak of my career,

When I was 40 or 50 years old, I looked back and saw that my child was only 1 or 2 years old;

Looking back, maybe he has already made a boyfriend/girlfriend, but I am already seventy-eighty;

I can't even imagine that when I have stepped into the coffin, the dream of "sweeping my grandson" can only be my funeral...

So, "I'm still in the clinic",

Because I have something I still want to try,

Even if the torch lit at the school went through the internship, it was once wiped out,

Even though it has failed twice...

Such "stable" income is absolutely necessary,

However, I did not exchange the dignity, but put it in a different place:

Write an article, this is the first place you see Baker's sub-spirit;

As for the other me? I'll tell you next time,

That's why Baker has been so busy these days...

I'm Baker, I'm a physical therapist, welcome to my country

.

Under the current health care system in Taiwan, no matter what the zodiac sign, the therapist will definitely write the word "world-weary" in the personality column.

.

Over time, the burning dream fire in my heart gradually went out, and "doing the 'teacher' and walking the meat" became a buff at the meeting before going to work every day . . .

.

But in my country, I hope my residents can see the real face of physical therapy and then understand, understand, and even love this profession that is "no less than any other medical technology" and "not just brainless operations" . . .
