A Lazy Wednesday

After such a busy day yesterday we started off with a really quiet morning. We were meant to have a client at 8am, but they just didn’t show up. This makes me really annoyed because it just wastes everyone’s time. We could have been seeing another client instead. With this hospital system the client was sent a letter with the date and time of his appointment. Perhaps it would be better if they were sent a letter and then given a follow-up phone call to confirm the appointment. Maybe sometimes they are. I just find it so annoying when people don’t show up. We had the opportunity this morning to join in a teaching session (on exercise prescription I think) which would have been really good to go to. As we had a new client booked in we couldn’t go, so when they didn’t turn up I definitely felt like I had missed out!

Our second client for today cancelled (but at least they called to tell us they weren’t coming in!) I figured Matt must be scaring all our clients away. So we spent the morning preparing for clients we didn’t end up seeing and doing some exam study. Its good having a plinth by our student area so we can practice stuff. At least it didn’t feel like a total waste of a morning. In the arvo we only had 2 clients booked in.

I saw the final client for today by myself, which was a good experience. It’s the 3rd time I’ve seen a client all by myself. We had seen this client before but I did some new things with her today. Even though I do the same things when Matt and I work together with a client, it still feels different seeing someone by myself.
