Document Summary

Case synopsis: daphne began her three year pta career at a small clinic with a strong pt-pta team atmosphere across town before being approached by velma, who offered her a significant pay raise to work at acme pt. Daphne accepted the position and worked very close with velma, the owner of acme, for a majority of her time. Early on in her new job, daphne noticed that certain modalities were used more frequently than they were previously utilized in the last clinic she worked at. She was relatively silent about the matter, until an incident occurred in which she could no longer be silent. One of the patients, fred, reported that he has discomfort near the back of his affected foot and ankle after four months of sustaining a complex ankle injury. He reported that it felt like sunburn in the back of his ankle.
