The Day In the Life of a Physical Therapist

To start my day has a Physical Therapist I would head to the VA (U.S department of Veteran Affairs) to start working. At my job I will work with Veterans who have gotten injured at war. At my job about every hour or so i would get a different patient with a different problem/injury. I would then help them try to overcome the injury/problem that has prevented them from doing many things, because of their situation that has happened at war. About in the mid afternoon i would go by starbucks and buy me a frappacunio and take in the amazing view of the mountains covered in snow. I would go back to work then start helping out with the swimming part of the Physical Therapy. After helping about 5 patients out, I would get my stuff ready to go home.
