Working at an orthopedic clinic and feeling sad for the patients...........(Added)
Ankle / Leg / Knee / Pelvis
"I'm here because it hurts"
"Ah, yes. Please take a seat"
"and wait for a moment, okay?"
But the state of the patient's feet
as they walk toward the waiting room sofa is…
……
…..
When they come wearing slippers, Crocs, or flip-flops
or things like mules
(Not just once, but every single time..)
Inner thoughts:
(……. Could you please wear sneakers?)
Especially when they're the type to drag
their feet while walking like that…. T_T
Then there are some people who ask,
"These kinds of slippers are bad for the legs, right?"
while wearing heavy boots
like Dr. Martens or combat boots..
…..
Inner thoughts:
(Heavy shoes aren't good either…. T_T)
+ I've heard some people intentionally wear
slippers or Crocs only when coming to the hospital
to make it easier to take them off and put them on
for physical therapy and such.
Since I see frequent patients often, they become familiar,
but if I run into them in a crowded area
in their daily lives
and they're wearing Crocs or slippers?
It's sad.... I get worried....
+ As for "But the hospital staff
wear Crocs all the time?"
We can't wear the shoes we wore outside
inside the hospital (for hygiene reasons),
and regular open-toed
slippers don't look professional,
(they don't give a neat and tidy impression,
so many places ban them)
Crocs are highly recommended because they look
relatively neat and feel like
indoor shoes T_T
Plus, they're so easy to clean if blood or something gets on them.
Other people
Neck / Waist
"I'm here because it hurts"
"Ah, yes. Please take a seat"
"and wait for a moment, okay?"
But the state of the patient waiting in the seat is…
…..
They say they came because their neck and waist hurt,
but they're using their phone while folded over
like a flip phone…
When the patient is waiting in the pose of
Rodin's "The Thinker"…
Inner thoughts:
(Could you please sit up straight?)
I can practically hear the discs compressing
from here. So sad, so sad......
And after the appointment is over,
"Goodbye!"
The view of the patient's back
wearing a backpack as they leave is….
At times like this…
*Sob*
Inner thoughts:
(Could you please tighten the straps
and wear the bag a bit higher?)
The ideal position of a backpack on the back
Does it look too much like a model student?
Does it look like a nerd fit?
But this is how your shoulders and waist
stay safe....
*Sob*
Another case
"My spine is misaligned"
"My pelvis is asymmetrical"
"The height of my shoulders doesn't match"
"My chest is uneven"
etc. Basically, patients who come because
their left and right sides don't match
in various places.
But every time they come,
they're with their favorite crossbody bag,
and the strap is stretched out
way too long,
and it's obviously packed with a ton of stuff...
Inner thoughts:
(Could you please wear a backpack
where the weight is evenly distributed
without leaning to the left or right?)
It's no different from walking around
with a heavy weight attached to one side of the body *sob*
The body is twisting, twisting *sob*
I'd rather you
use a bag like this
and wear it high up..
I'd rather....
At least.....
*Sob*
And
a patient who is clearly suffering
from a herniated disc in the neck, but always
has a top-knot bun
located near the crown of the head…
When they come with a ponytail tied very high..
*Sob*
Inner thoughts:
(Is the load on your neck okay?)
Or
…. when they wear a heavy necklace…
Especially in summer, a long chain
with a pendant....
Inner thoughts:
(I'm asking if the load on your neck is okay T_T)
….
But it's not just thick and
heavy necklaces that add load? It varies by person,
but for those who already have a "turtle neck" disc party,
even a regular thin fashion necklace
or an ID badge lanyard can cause
severe neck stiffness or discomfort..

Hairpins
Claw clips
etc. etc.
For the record, not all top-knots or ponytails
are bad.
Example of a bad top-knot:
Oh no
Your disc is being pressed by the weight
of that high-tied top-knot *sob*
You tied it too high T_T
It creates a load no different from
carrying a book on your head
all day long...
Example of a good top-knot:
Phew
Your neck is so comfortable with a low position.
Ponytails follow the same logic.
Get it?
A low ponytail is a good thing.
Other than this, things that are too obvious
to write but you should be careful of:
Sitting with legs crossed
Slumping back almost lying down
Wearing high heels
Wearing hard sandals
etc.
Everyone,
your ankles, legs, knees, pelvis, waist, and neck
are precious…
*Sob*
