Rehab Experience

It has been 2 days that I spent at rehab for my 2nd block placements. Honestly, this setting seems much relaxing n structured than the acute hospitals. Things go on protocols, patients' length of stays are longer, so plans are taken seriously for the patients' long term benefits. In the hospitals, we often work hard to get patients well enough to kick them out of the door, but at rehab, we aim to promote quality management of life. Aside from that, perhaps with less intensive workload, dietitians have more time to generate better system, like the nutrition screening which is used to identify the at-risk patients. It definitely helps to save our time, however, time seems luxurous now. I only saw one patient in 2 days, n i ve yet found my potential patient for my major case, which is now my super-high concern. But anyway, days at rehab are undoubtedly lovely~~ Hope days like these will go on, n in somedays, i will reach the competency!
