TIN KOSONG ....

recently i was posted to a well established hospital ....other college students n the ''so called'' clever studnts frm well established institutions was also posted there....they look down on my college...n of course on us n our lecturers...put that apart...even when a pt  came v r not given a chance to treat....priority is only given to the so called ''CLEVER'' students even when they no ''nothing'' .... they cant even assess a patient completely...dont know even the basic things...parasthesia??? dermatomes?? myotomes?? ask them anything...they will b blinking their eyes n scratching they heads while looking at us for answers....when asked whats the difference between SWD & HOT PACK?? they can say ''one uses electric n the other doesnt''....such a lame answer which a primary school children can answer....dont need to spend 4 years studying bachelors to know this....''gait analysis''....when asked to analyse gait....the girl just look at the patients hip and say ''his hip flexion is limited'' ...thats all.... but the very basic things...'' the stance and swing phase'' is altered....but they never bother it at all....then range of motion assessment......as far as i studied v use goniometer to assess the range of motion of a particular movement...but here they will ask the patient
therapist : ''mmm sir how much u think ur knee flexion??''
 patient answers..'' fexion?? whats that??
therapist ans: flexion means how much u can bend ur knee....
 patient : o i think around 80 to 90 degrees...hmmmm....
next muscle power : as far as i studied v assess muscle power for each n every muscle...but there they will write ''knee= 4'' but no one knows whether it for hams o quads....hmmmmm....v found ourselves much more better....but still they will say 'm' college student is weak...n bad!!!!
