Day 13 (super late post)

On February 28, 2013 I spent my 13th day shadowing Dr. Cheng. I did the usual of removing staples from old files. He asked me to compare a patient who came in for an adjustment to another patient who both had similar injuries. Then he told me how he would handle this situation. He told me how much pain both are experiencing and what they can and can't do like they can't lift heavy objects at work (this would affect them because they would not be able to provide for their families). Dr. Cheng did a physical on the patient and he could not bend down to touch his toes because his back was in so much pain. Then he placed electrodes  and a heat pack to relax the muscles. After this treatment, the patient could walk better than before and he said his back felt a lot better. Today, Dr. Cheng expanded my knowledge on this type of field and made me more interested at it. All for now....
