The life of a young physical therapist in the hospital.

Let's see, one day in a community hospital, what are physical therapists doing? 💪🏻

🏥 our hospital is a 30-bed district hospital, not very large, with a lot of patients, a lot of patients, a lot of patients, but most of them are overflowing. 🥹🥹

As for our physical therapy department, there are 2 physical therapists, which is very little. 🥲 Our duties are to be divided and circled. Help each other very much. Anyone who doesn't have anything to help each other. Yom, some days are poor, hahahaha.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ตรงของนักกายภาพบำบัดที่ทำงานในโรงพยาบาลชุมชนขนาดเล็ก อย่างโรงพยาบาลประจำอำเภอที่มีเตียงเพียง 30 เตียง เห็นได้ชัดว่าการดูแลผู้ป่วยจำเป็นต้องการความอุตสาหะและความร่วมมืออย่างใกล้ชิดในทีมงาน นักกายภาพบำบัดที่นี่ไม่ได้แค่รับผิดชอบในแผนก OPD กับผู้ป่วยกระดูก กล้ามเนื้อ และโรคระบบประสาทเท่านั้น แต่ยังต้องดูแลผู้ป่วยใน IPD ที่มีปัญหาหัวใจ ทางเดินหายใจ และระบบประสาท รวมถึงงานที่ลงไปเยี่ยมถึงชุมชนสำหรับผู้ป่วยติดบ้าน หรือติดเตียงที่ไม่สะดวกเดินทาง สิ่งที่รู้สึกประทับใจคือการทำงานในแผนก NCD ซึ่งเน้นดูแลผู้ป่วยโรคเบาหวาน โดยนักกายภาพบำบัดเหล่านี้มีส่วนร่วมในโครงการ DM remission ช่วยส่งเสริมการฟื้นฟูและป้องกันภาวะแทรกซ้อนต่างๆ เช่น การตรวจเท้าเพื่อป้องกันแผลเรื้อรังที่เกิดจากเบาหวาน นอกจากนี้ยังได้เรียนรู้ว่าบรรยากาศการทำงานในแผนกค่อนข้างท้าทาย โดยเฉพาะกับจำนวนเจ้าหน้าที่ที่น้อยเพียง 2 คน ทำให้ต้องแบ่งหน้าที่กันและช่วยเหลือกันอย่างเต็มที่ บางวันงานอาจล้นมือจนทำให้รู้สึกเหนื่อยล้า แต่ก็ยังคงยิ้มรับกับทุกภารกิจอย่างเต็มกำลัง หากใครสนใจเส้นทางอาชีพนี้ ควรเตรียมตัวไว้สำหรับการทำงานที่หลากหลายและยืดหยุ่น โดยต้องมีความรักในงานบริการและเอื้ออาทรต่อผู้ป่วย ทั้งยังต้องพร้อมทำงานร่วมกับทีมอย่างเข้มแข็ง รวมทั้งมีทักษะการสื่อสารที่ดีเพื่อประสานงานกับแพทย์และเจ้าหน้าที่อื่นๆ รวมถึงผู้ป่วยและครอบครัว สุดท้ายแล้ว การเป็นนักกายภาพบำบัดในโรงพยาบาลชุมชนไม่เพียงแต่เป็นบทบาททางการแพทย์ที่สำคัญเท่านั้น แต่ยังเป็นหัวใจสำคัญของการดูแลผู้ป่วยอย่างครอบคลุมและต่อเนื่องในระดับพื้นที่ ซึ่งทำให้เห็นคุณค่าของงานดูแลสุขภาพที่แท้จริงในชุมชน

What’s one thing a therapist has said to you?
A therapist once told me, "You don’t have to fix everything at once. Just start somewhere." It helped me let go of the pressure to be perfect and focus on small steps. It made the bigger issues feel less overwhelming. #letschat #AskLemon8 #therapyquotes
