These comments are almost as entertaining as the article itself.
Touchy touchy monkeys!

I know this is satire because you CAN train a monkey to order some XRs before calling Ortho.

In reply to Kimra Ross. And prescribe them all steroids and unrecommended cough medicine plus an antibiotic for a viral illness (that they tell Mom, it's a viral illness. Then I get yelled at next time I tell her it's viral and go home and drink fluids.) IMO, peds PTs should only see peds trained providers (more than 3 months of peds clinic, at the very least)

now that’s just not nice at all. along with the pain level sensor. I had an appt today. And of course, here comes the pain level question, and I said well I just don’t know how to answer that anymore. I mean is it like being stabbed multiple times? set on fire? noooo, but it hurts. you decide. and why didn’t he have the new device?
