You had to know when Mark Kelly et al. reminded soldiers that they shouldn’t follow illegal orders, they knew illegal orders were being issued. There was no reason for them to talk about it otherwise. Trump knew too. That’s why he started freaking out.

You have to get a doctorate in physical therapy to sit for the boards and get licensed. It is a graduate degree. 4 years of college + 3 years of graduate school. It is not “non college level”.

Seriously. My husband is an internal medicine PCP. He said he got 1 lecture in med school about PT/OT/SLP and that was it. He had no idea PFPT (pelvic floor PT) was a thing until he met me. Luckily I think today, most OB/GYNs, urologists, oncologists, and GIs have PFPTs they refer to regularly.

It’s amazing how many patients don’t know about pelvic health PT or think it’s something “new”. I’ve been treating this population for 29 years and there were many more who came before me. We don’t save lives, but we change lives.

I appreciate your help!

I know. I’m a pelvic health physical therapist. I treat patients with constipation daily. My point was we do way more than just exercises.

PFM exercise (either stretching or strengthening depending on their tone) is important, especially as a HEP, but evaluating and treating the different forms of dyssynergic defecation, utilizing Biofeedback and FES to retrain contract/relax, downtraining, diet modification, education, etc. is key.

Most of my patients with constipation have been told to take it every day. They don’t understand that they have the autonomy to change the dosage, the frequency, or discontinue it when it’s no longer needed. Many don’t realize their diarrhea and resultant FI is s/t Miralax. Education is key.

Too many people are told to take MiraLAX for constipation. They end up with diarrhea and FI. Better would be to really examine and change their diet (there’s never enough fiber and water) and activity level, and send them to pelvic floor PT so we can identify, treat and correct any PFM dysfunctions.

Use White Lily self rising flour and omit the baking powder and salt in the biscuit recipe as it’s already in self rising flour. Freeze your butter and then grate it for the biscuits. You will never want a crusted pot pie ever again. You’re welcome.

As someone who is about to fly 1/2 way across the country to take my son on a UChicago campus tour, what are your thoughts on the current state of the university as an alum?

I’m don’t understand why no one is telling him to fuck off? The Smithsonian is not a government agency and is not under the control of the President.

I’m sorry! I hope everyone is ok! My passenger side got side swiped a month after I bought my new Volvo. 😳
