Rehabilitation therapy technology major, do you regret it?

When I first graduated, I regretted it. I felt that I was better than the migrant workers in this hospital in everything I did. I had to fight my thighs and crack my arms every day. The most troublesome thing was the hospice care. At that time, I was in the rehabilitation department of a tertiary-level hospital and felt that I had no job. So I discussed with my dad and decided to quit my job and go to a rehabilitation hospital in my hometown. Then I felt that my life had opened a new chapter. At first, I was influenced by the boss’s team and specialized in neurological rehabilitation. Later I was taken seriously and was assigned to a hospital. I went out to study sports rehabilitation. Although I didn’t learn anything, it broadened my horizons and determined my future career path. I would also like to thank Mr. Zhou Lin for giving me a lot of advice when I was confused. In particular, his idea of ??daring to challenge textbooks and thinking outside the hospital mode gave me great inspiration. I have no regrets at all and will continue to do so. My daughter will be born at the end of this month. My family is very supportive of my career. Thank you! ! ###Do you regret it? Don't ask me if I regret it. I regret it so much that I want to take the college entrance examination again. Some people love it very much, but that's another matter. If you want to make money, I advise you not to study this major. If you want to make money with this major? Doesn't exist.

With the same level of professional title, you will never earn as much as a doctor. I work in a public second-class hospital and do PT for more than a dozen patients every day, and my monthly salary is more than 3,400. Do you dare to imagine? Moreover, even if you have a master's degree or a doctorate in rehabilitation, you cannot pass the examination as a practicing doctor. Even if you have a junior doctor's certificate, it is not as good as a resident doctor without a practicing medical certificate. Nowadays, those rehabilitation public accounts are brainwashing people every day. The prospects for rehabilitation are so good, so Don't tell me how much you feel a sense of accomplishment after seeing the patients you treat recover. I only earn so much money and you talk to me about world peace.

Also, friends who are studying rehabilitation, please don’t call yourself doctor. Every time a recovering patient calls me doctor, I will correct him. I am not a doctor, and not everyone in the hospital can be called a doctor. Doctors, except those who can pass the examination as practicing physicians, cannot be called doctors. Patients only call you a doctor if they don’t understand. Don’t you understand the medical technology you learned yourself? Don’t you understand the blue clothes you, a technician, are wearing?

Please those who are content with the status quo should not tell others how good rehabilitation therapists are. If you want to do rehabilitation, please go to clinical practice first and then take the master's degree in rehabilitation medicine. I personally tell you very clearly that rehabilitation therapy The major is just a piece of shit, with low salary and low status.

Edited again, at 10:12 pm on August 21, 2018

Some people want to know how low the status of a rehabilitation practitioner is, I will tell you how low it is !

Patient: That massage guy, are you from an outside training institution? Why have I been doing this for so long and it doesn’t work at all?

Doctor: A massager can cure cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. What do you want us to do?

Nurse: Oh... I earn less than us, so I feel more balanced.

Some people think that hospitals are equal. Let me analyze it based on the region and hospital salary level:

Coordinates are Xi'an, a military hospital.

Some people say that nurses working night shifts should be paid higher than us. They are right. Nurses work night shifts. Don’t medical technicians work night shifts? Doesn’t the imaging department of the laboratory department work night shifts? I rented a room with a laboratory doctor who paid 2,000 a month for a junior college degree without a certificate and 2.5,000 for a junior bachelor's degree. The bachelor's degree examination cost 2.5,000 yuan a month without a certificate and 4,000 for a junior bachelor's degree.

For junior college doctors in our rehabilitation department without a certificate, the fee is 2.5k, for those who have worked for one year and have passed the assistant physician exam, the fee is 5k, and for doctors without a bachelor's degree, the fee is 5k.

Rehabilitation department therapist without certificate is 2k, junior doctor is 2.5k, undergraduate is without certificate is 2.5k, and junior practitioner is 4k.

The intermediate division of rehabilitation department is 6.5k, the therapist is 8k, and the attending physician is 8k.

Where is the so-called equality? Don't imagine society to be a good one. There is no absolute equality anywhere in life. Equality is always relative. If you think it is equal, it may be because you are only immersed in your own circle and don't look higher. Would you rather accept relative equality within your own circle than climb out of your own circle and strive to enter a higher level of relative equality? Isn't this what is called self-paralysis?

Some people criticize me and say that if they are not satisfied with the salary, they have the ability to go to Beijing Medical University. I just want to ask, isn’t the housing price-wage ratio in Beijing similar to the housing price-wage ratio in the second and third tiers? And it can only be high, not low.

The following is the cost issue:

Coordinated in Xi'an, rent is 1k, monthly expenses are 200-300, food is 25 per day (already very low), food subsidy is 200, on average each Monthly food expenses are about 550. If the balance is less than 500, some boys may still smoke, but they dare not smoke good ones. It costs about 150 a month, and they still have to pay for a relationship. Some girls may say that they don’t need to smoke. Here I want to rectify the name of boys. Boys are overwhelmed by the pressure of life as soon as they graduate. Only smoking for a short minute or two can release a little bit of pressure. Usually, even a No entertainment activities are allowed.

Perhaps as soon as a girl graduates, she will be independent as long as she can pay the rent and have enough daily expenses to feed herself. She may still have money left over to travel and keep fit, but what about boys? As soon as boys graduate, they face the daily expenses of rent. Sometimes they don’t even want to eat a good meal because they still have to pay for a relationship and have to face the problem of a down payment for a house. Is it just the salary of a rehabilitation therapist? ? How many girls have considered the down payment for a house?

I am currently preparing to obtain the Chinese Medicine Practitioner Qualification Certificate by studying from a teacher, and I will take the academic master's degree in acupuncture and massage at the end of the year. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Anonymous status has been cancelled

I don’t know how to define the positive and negative energy that some people call. Here I just want to say that there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers. I only express my disappointment in recovery. It’s just people’s opinions. If you don't agree, just post your own answer. There is no need to waste traffic and time as a person who only knows how to promote negative energy.

To add my personal opinion, the so-called positive energy is nothing more than drawing a pie for yourself and convincing yourself that the pie will become a reality.

The so-called negative energy is nothing more than tearing apart the paper with the pie painted on it so that more people can recognize the reality.

And I don’t think it’s negative energy. I’m just stating reality and accepting reality. People who think they are recovering well and are satisfied with their lives can just treat it as a joke.

I’m sorry everyone, I said 6,000 was an exaggerated high. The boss painted a pie for me and comforted myself.

Rehabilitation in China is still developing rapidly.

Five years ago, I was the only sports rehabilitation practitioner on Zhihu. I had to be invited by several patients to register, and it took a long time for strict review.

Nowadays, a bunch of so-called "rehabilitation experts" are developing too fast and they are all so powerful that they are really incomparable.

The rapid development makes me speechless!

Choosing a career is your life’s work and you can’t regret it.

Satisfaction in work and life must be achieved by oneself. I am optimistic about the future, not the present.

I am a sports rehabilitation therapist, never a fitness instructor!

But sports rehabilitation practitioners must be able to train and teach physical education. I can be an excellent coach, but it is rare for a coach to be a rehabilitation practitioner.

Insisting on fitness and enjoying sports is a lifelong hobby, and I gain countless happiness from it.

We have also received support from countless friends, thank you!

###

When I saw the word recovery, my heart felt cold.

I think a career is nothing more than satisfying. Get respect and recognition from others, and ￥

However, recovery. . . . . . .

——————Divide————Cut——————Thread——————

The newly graduated errand boy works in a The second-class traditional Chinese medicine hospital is engaged in modern rehabilitation

I have wanted to engage in medicine since I was a child. When I filled out my application form, I chose rehabilitation by accident. Thank you, Du Niang, for telling me. Recovery is so much better (?▽?) If I had been born a few years earlier, we would have caught up with the years when we recovered and could take the medical qualification certificate exam. . . . Eh

Actually, my recovery is pretty good. The doctor-patient relationship is not tense and I don’t have to work night shifts. Except that we are relatively marginalized in the hospital; the threshold is relatively low, and anyone can take our certificate; the patients and their families think that we are massagers and playmates; the salary is ~ eh, so uncles and aunts can tolerate it, ￥Intolerable. Silently comforting myself, doctors and nurses work night shifts, and their responsibilities and risks are high.

However, it is just a little therapist like me who does leg work, complaining and complaining. It is undeniable that there are rehabilitation experts in the rehabilitation industry, and there are more than a small amount of rehabilitation masters, with very considerable ￥ , can gain the trust and respect of patients and other medical staff, so! You're so young, work hard!

Rehabilitation medicine, one of the three major branches of modern medicine, has a very good future due to the current two-child policy, the serious aging of the country, and the obvious trend of younger people with strokes, etc. Various factors still make me feel that there is still a future for me to persist in recovery. But every time wages are paid, it is a laxative. listen! That's the message that the salary has arrived. No, that is the sound of broken dreams.

A few more words, two heart-breaking things

A patient with cerebral hemorrhage worked hard to recover for a period of time, was able to walk alone, and was discharged from the hospital. . When he was discharged from the hospital, he hugged the doctor in charge tightly and thanked him extremely for letting him get back on his feet. Uh-huh, I'll answer him as the doctor in charge, you're welcome.

There was also a patient who accompanied him and said to the patient (I definitely didn’t eavesdrop on purpose, I was just pretending to take a lunch break): Give me an extra 50 yuan for your daily companionship fee. I will do it every morning and afternoon. I'll give you a massage, just like the ones they massage people do.

Okay, rising star in the rehabilitation world, start your performance!

PS, of course I ended my lunch break and kept my job.

Rehabilitation therapist entry, salary quotation: ?Confidential?

Well, confidential! ! !

###When I saw this question, I couldn’t help but think of an article I posted on Weibo the year before last. I really felt it at the time. I chose recovery, and I don’t regret it! Post the full text here ↓ (posted on Weibo, relatively easy to understand) I rarely mention my major on Weibo, but today I suddenly wanted to write something about my major and work. Let me introduce first, my profession - rehabilitation therapy, my job - rehabilitation therapist. Many people don't understand this job. When I meet strangers in the hospital and ask for directions, they are always called "nurse" to treat patients. He is always called "doctor". I hope that after reading this article of mine, you can understand something about my work. The reason that prompted me to write this article, well, or the reason for the convulsion tonight, is that I was a little excited by a patient's simple and heartfelt gratitude today, and I wanted to share it with you, or in other words, show it to everyone. one time. (As a person who posts things... A patient with a severe form of post-obsessiveness gave up treatment in the advanced stage...) This patient is a patient with hand trauma and a free fracture of the distal phalanx of the little finger on his right hand. Well, this term may be too abstract. , to describe it this way, a large piece of the little finger was cut off with a sharp instrument about 0.5cm away from the fingertip, including the flesh and bone. My imaginative mother-in-law thinks it’s a bit bloody... Actually, I’ve never seen what she looked like when she was injured, because it was about 70 days after she was rehabilitated by me. The splints had been removed and the sutures were very good. The wound healed very well too. At this point you may be wondering what else you need to do after you have healed so well? Then let me tell you about the situation of the patient when he first arrived. Well, the patient always said it was a bit too troublesome, so let me call her Aunt Z. Due to long-term immobilization of the right hand (more than 70 days, two and a half months), the joint movement is limited and the muscle strength is reduced. Is it too technical to say this? Let me put it another way. When Aunt Z first came here, she couldn't hold things with her right hand, couldn't use dishes and chopsticks, and it was even difficult for her to dress herself. Maybe some friends will say that it will heal naturally when the fracture heals, but it will take a hundred days to break the bones. Every time I see the phrase "it takes a hundred days to break the bones," I can't help but complain. From a rehabilitation perspective, if a normal person immobilizes for 1 day, his muscle strength will decrease by 1% to 3%. So if he immobilizes for 100 days, then What is the concept, muscle weakness and disuse muscle atrophy╮(╯▽╰)╭. . So, no matter what kind of fracture it is, if the orthopedic department treating you provides rehabilitation, don’t hesitate to recover as soon as possible. If it doesn’t provide rehabilitation, then when the orthopedic doctor lets you leave the hospital and go home to rest, you must not be idle. , it is best to ask your family members to take your medical records to a nearby rehabilitation center for consultation and appointment. Once you are suitable for rehabilitation, you should recover as soon as possible! Okay, I’m a little off topic, let’s come back and continue talking about Aunt Z. In fact, I gave her 3 treatments as soon as I got treatment, including joint loosening + resistance exercise. Monday was the first time. She was a little hesitant and didn’t talk much. After the treatment, she obviously felt that her hands were much lighter. It snowed heavily in Jinan the next day. I thought she wouldn't come, but she came again. This time she couldn't help but tell me that she went home and tried to eat with a spoon. It felt good. I did it that day. After the treatment, I taught her some methods to practice at home. Because of the heavy snow, I guess she won’t be able to come in the next few days. I forgot to mention that Aunt Z’s home is far away from our hospital, and the bus takes a one-way trip. It's about a 2-hour journey, and you still have to walk a mile or two before you get home. Well, then the third treatment was today. She said that she started washing dishes at home these days, and even took the initiative to serve meals to her family. She also said that she didn’t want to come over at home, but her daughter insisted on her coming over to do it. After she recovered, her mother-in-law didn't want her to come over yet. "The key is that it's too far away. Can't you just practice at home? I've also practiced at home. It hurts. It hurts even to the bones. I dare not hold it with my hands." When she saw her The results of these two treatments made her mother-in-law change her previous views and urged her to come to the hospital for treatment. "You dared to move your hands after these two massages (she doesn't understand joint loosening and the like). It's been really troublesome for you these past two days." The joy she felt when she said this really came from the bottom of her heart. . If she had not listened to her daughter, or if she did not have a daughter who understood rehabilitation, perhaps her right hand would have been left with a lifelong disability. This was really a very small fracture, but it caused the dysfunction of the entire right hand. If the orthopedic surgeon who sutured her had a sense of recovery and she had carried out passive or active movements of other fingers during the fracture fixation, her right hand might now be able to do laundry and cook. If there were professional rehabilitation staff in her community, she would not have to travel four hours a day to receive half an hour of rehabilitation training. This hand function training method is really simple, and it is nothing more than every small joint on the handle. It is loose enough, plus active movements in all directions, to activate every muscle. It is a patient and careful job, but it is not difficult (I mean for rehabilitation professionals) and the effect is very good. I After only doing it 3 times, her function has improved greatly. If I had not chosen this kind of job, I would not have met Aunt Z, nor would I have received this small thank you. If, oh, there are so many ifs in the world, I choose to recover, I have no regrets. ###

Never regret it! I graduated from a bachelor's degree in rehabilitation in June this year. If nothing happens, I can enter a tertiary hospital.

Personally, I am still very optimistic about the development prospects of domestic rehabilitation. The scope of rehabilitation is very wide. Not only hemiplegic patients need rehabilitation, but also sub-healthy people need rehabilitation. For those who say that hospital salaries are low, you should know the approximate salary before you enter the hospital, right? What is the psychology behind going there even after knowing about it and then complaining about the low salary? Then please think about these two questions clearly: 1. What else can you do besides the work in this major? (I guess most people can't do anything, otherwise they would have changed jobs long ago) 2. Is your current ability worth the price you expect?

I often think about these two questions, so I took the national nutritionist certificate, psychological counselor certificate, senior yoga teacher certificate, and physical therapy yoga teacher certificate during college, and planned to work in a hospital for five or six years. Learn something for a year, then resign after passing the mid-level therapist exam, and then develop your career as a personal trainer. Every certificate I took in college was laying the foundation for my future work. Otherwise, my college life would have been very comfortable.

Also, I really don’t understand why so many people want to take the vocational doctor exam. So what if you get it? Now that drug commissions have been cancelled, doctors are having a hard time. It is true that the salary of a rehabilitation physician is higher than that of a therapist, but why don't you say that they start with a graduate degree? (At least this is the case at the hospital where I practice), so I don’t feel it’s unfair. As for those who say that the rehabilitation profession is a scam, you yourself do not have the divergent thinking to find other jobs related to or similar to your profession. If you just stare at the salary and the single job in the hospital, you will definitely be disappointed and bored. Moreover, 90% of the wages in all systems are very low. If you want to make money, you must break out of this circle. Look at which rich people have become rich without investing or developing side businesses.

When I say this, I don’t mean to belittle my peers and elevate myself. Without other skills, you don’t dare to change jobs. I just want to say that we are all still young. We should learn as many subjects as possible while doing our job well. Technology, so that when I encounter an unreasonable leader in the future, as long as I am unhappy and send him a resignation letter, I will quit and leave him with a cool figure. Hahaha, it feels so good just thinking about it!

I regret it. I very much agree with the public account issue mentioned above. I used to be a rehabilitation therapist in a tertiary hospital, but then I decided not to go to work and took the postgraduate entrance examination to 985. Engineering. I saw the post on the rehabilitation public account "How happy is it to have a boyfriend who is a rehabilitation therapist?" Then, bala bala, what is it that is both caring and can give you a massage when you are tired?

I almost want to vomit!

You can see how awkward the status of rehabilitation therapists is in hospitals in the mainland. It's better in coastal hospitals.

There is no doubt that it is certainly possible to have a special love for rehabilitation, but it can only be said to be a general profession.

If you don’t particularly love it, don’t give in! ! ! !

Rehabilitation is a rising industry. Let me tell you, our teacher told me so, and my teacher’s teacher also told him so.

The dividing line...

A few additional points

If you really want to take the exam, I highly recommend my idea of ??taking the exam

I did it I have been working in a private hospital for five years, and now I am in a public hospital. In the future, I plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination and become a teacher in a college...

###

I will graduate soon. I am directly under the sports committee of a certain province in the school. I regret that I can’t talk about it, but I still have complaints (?_ -? ) The study is too complicated. I have to study every subject and memorize every subject. Although I don’t need to be too detailed, it is quite complicated for me. I am a migrant worker in the hospital. I really don’t recommend that girls study rehabilitation. Others don’t know. Anyway, I am Your physical strength cannot keep up with your earnings, your results are slow, and you are too young. Most patients think you are joking (? I don’t plan to engage in related work for the time being after graduation... I am also very lazy and waiting to die... Probably because of me I think my father and brother are already very good doctors. Yes, they both study rehabilitation. Maybe my father wants me to inherit his father's career? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the profession. It’s definitely an interesting subject for academic purposes, but it’s just not suitable for me. Plus, my usual painting style is really fascinating

Yes, when I suddenly think about it, I feel like I’ve fallen into a trap. You can stay in the hospital for a few more years. I know a little brother who worked in a first- and second-tier city hospital for a few years. Then he started his own private rehabilitation clinic to make money. And I think this industry means that the older you get, the more valuable you are. That’s it< /p>

###Zhihu Shoujiba is a rehabilitation therapist at a relatively high-end rehabilitation treatment institution in Hangzhou. The rehabilitation training here strives to help everyone who needs help slowly return to their original lives. Rehabilitation training can only help. It is said to help the disabled to improve themselves and adapt to life. When your patient can stand up and walk again through training, this is the greatest pride of a rehabilitation therapist. Now he is responsible for the daily efforts of a little girl with a complete spinal cord injury. Training, and those slim hopes. I hope to be better every day. I don’t regret becoming a rehabilitation therapist. This is an angel who helps every injured person heal. Maybe angels can’t help sometimes, but these angels make better gifts. Give it to them.

###As an intern, I answer this question. Of course I have no regrets (although I haven’t worked yet, so it’s a bit irrelevant). Rehabilitation is developing very fast in China. Regardless of people’s cognition and recognition, treatment In terms of the demand for teachers and the development of theory and technology, rehabilitation is a very good and promising profession. The country has begun to attach importance to the development of the rehabilitation treatment profession since 2015. All general hospitals and community hospitals at level 2 and above must have rehabilitation departments. Of course, good rehabilitation is now mostly concentrated in first-tier cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Nantong and other places. As China’s economic level improves, people’s demand for rehabilitation is also increasing day by day. Children's rehabilitation and adult rehabilitation are still quite necessary. With the liberalization of second children, postpartum rehabilitation is also a hot topic. Then there is the specific rehabilitation treatment work. The current rehabilitation department is divided into pt, ot, st, and pt is divided into exercise therapy and physiotherapy. China is also actively communicating and learning with foreign rehabilitation treatments, but it has to be said that our country's rehabilitation treatment is still far behind Japan, the United States, Germany, etc. Speech therapy is also developing rapidly in China, and there are many people who are in need of it. Finally, as a rehabilitation therapist, you don’t have to work overtime. You go to work at eight in the morning and get off at five in the afternoon. There will definitely be no night shifts or anything like that. This is really good. To sum up, rehabilitation therapy is still a very good and promising field. work. However, with the development of rehabilitation, the requirements for practitioners in this area are also constantly increasing. This is natural###

I don’t regret it at all. I like this profession very much because I only do orthopedics. Physical therapy, we are very valuable in orthopedic conditions.

###

I regretted it

When I received patients who were beyond the scope of rehabilitation, I saw their helpless and desperate expressions. I regretted it

When I received patients who had problems and consequences treated by some so-called "rehabilitation practitioners", I regretted it

My job responsibility is to receive patients from Patients with sports injuries across the country

When I see the overwhelming number of rehabilitation experts on the Internet now giving advice and suggestions to solve problems in various website forums

I am very confused about these "experts" "Why are you so free? Can you have a lot of time to browse all kinds of nonsense online?

The rehabilitation industry is developing very fast, so fast that many profit-seeking people are pouring in to cause chaos in the industry

The rehabilitation industry is developing very slowly because there are still a lot of people Many people do not have any awareness of rehabilitation

So the public has not yet discerned the level of professional competence of rehabilitation practitioners. That’s why some moths are rampant in this industry

I regret it many times, but most of the time I want to use my own efforts and persistence to help more people who need recovery###Hey, seeing recovery , it’s still inexplicably kind. I signed up for this profession out of nowhere in college. I felt fine during the internship, working 9 to 5, and later I worked in a hospital. After working there for 3 years, I felt tired. I was alone and felt tired. It was really I am too lazy to go to work, and now I accidentally recall my previous work. As for whether I regret it later, to be honest, I regret it, but what can I do if I regret it? The road ahead is ahead, so take your time and work hard. I wish you all the best in your work.# ##No regrets. After graduating from a four-year undergraduate degree in rehabilitation therapy, I went directly to the United States to study for a PhD, mainly doing research on neurological rehabilitation, and plan to graduate next year. Through these years of contact with rehabilitation therapy, I really love this profession, and I am very glad that I chose this profession, because whether I help patients with my hands or research results, I will feel great satisfaction. At the same time, the work intensity of rehabilitation therapists may be lighter than that of clinicians, and they do not have to work night shifts, and their work and rest hours are more regular. This is another reason why I chose rehabilitation in the first place. In short, I do not regret choosing rehabilitation treatment.
