Back at work

Physical therapists do a little bit of EVERYTHING over here. We make splints, do casting, do PT stuff, prescribe medications, give weight bearing instructions on orthopedic patients, and I even attempted doing some speech therapy last week. I haven't taken very many pictures of the patients at work because I didn't know how they would react to me wanting to take it. I have found that they are very honored at having their picture taken. In fact, most patients get a photographer of them in their new cast with the PT team or their physicians because it is such a monumental moment of their lives.
The guy above had an unstable compression fracture of his L1 vertebrae. In order to prevent further injury to the spine and cause spinal cord injury, we put him in a body cast. Not too comfortable, but very important! But you have to remember to put some padding over the belly while you make the cast so they can eat and not feel constricted. What is this pad called?-What else but the 'fufu pouch'.
