Taylor Bush, PT, DPT

His own Vice President will not be voting for him. His former Chief of Staff will not. His former Sec of Defense will not. His former Nat Security Advisor will not. His former Joint Chiefs Chair will not. His former AG will not. Because he’s dangerous and unfit for office.

Hey that’s me! Thanks for talking with me and for always leaving me with a renewed excitement and love for this setting!!

@Dizzy_DPT_Dad @DrKatBuilds @lathompson71 @TheEDDPT Love this! Were nurses and MD’s supportive? And what did that flow look like? In my ED we get a consult, talk to MD, check in w/ RN and then finally see the patient. This seems more efficient and great for throughput time

@DrKatBuilds @lathompson71 @TheEDDPT When I ran our ED PT program we had our chief of medicine sign off on "protocol orders" for PT for a bunch of diagnoses (vertigo, LBP, falls, etc)...basically we had free range to eval whoever was appropriate and could just have the nurses enter the order for us.

At what point does medical system incompetence become legalized extortion? 🧵 Patient presents to hospital with acute positional vertigo --> MRI, MRA, Echo, Carotid US, EKG, blood testing all negative --> Refer to hospital owned ENT for balance testing and hearing testing.

Did my first solo wound vac change yesterday and assisted with 2 in the ICU today… we’re doing it!

Ahhhhh!! This is so cool!

I first started in the ED as a student in Jan 2021. Today they took down the temporary walls dividing rooms (to make them isolation rooms as needed) and went back to curtains. WOAH. End of an era for sure

@WicksAB That’s fantastic!

@TBthrows I just shared this with my class as we had a discussion on ethics today.

You know what PT school doesn’t prepare you for? Lifting up your patient’s gown and seeing a swastika tattooed on their leg. I can’t tell if I feel good or bad about the fact that my student and I carried on as if nothing was there.

@Jerry_DurhamPT @WicksAB Woah! I mean makes sense, but again something I wouldn’t have thought about before.

@WicksAB @TBthrows That's a discussion.... I worked at a hospital that had a contract with local prison.... ....

@StacieFruth Talking about ways to handle something like that before it actually happens is so helpful so I’m glad you do too!

@TBthrows I actually do talk with my students about just that...and I'm so glad I do. As hard as it is.

@rpletterioDPT It’s such a shitty feeling and infuriating. Sorry that happened to you!

@TBthrows I had a patient I worked with as a student with SS bolts tattooed behind his ear. My CI didn't know what they were for and asked him, pt told him they were because he rode his motorcycle like lightning. I had to educate my CI that day

@mikestuderPT I talked to her about why she felt that way towards PTs. She felt she wasn’t being listened to and was being judged or deemed “lazy”. So just created a good rapport and listened. She was happy at the end but this is in ED so I won’t get to see her again to see if it stuck.

@TBthrows Elaborate. How did you overcome her #confirmationbias ?

“I don’t like physical therapy and I don’t like physical therapists” -My patient to me when I walked into the room 😂 Don’t worry, we got her eventually!

Jennifer Coolidge’s crying as Tanya in White Lotus is my absolute favorite thing. Gets me every time 😂
