Currently I do not have a job, but let me walk you trough how was my work's day when I worked as Occupational Therapy in a hospital in my country. My day at work started at 7:00 am, but my first patients came by around 7:40am. In that 40 minutes before my first patient, I used to go to hydrotherapy to see which patient were there so that I could know more or less who would be the first patient of the day. In the morning I would see around 20 adult patients with different disabilities which range from broken wrist to strokes. Since my morning patients were all adults or over 18 years old, I had to use different activities every time that I saw them to avoid they got upset or boring of the same activity every therapy. In the afternoon if I have patients, they were kids who I loved to work with. When I had not patients, I used to go to help in the Physical Therapy 's Gym or to fill out some paper work.
Although my workplace was small, the atmosphere was great. I knew in physical therapy they had some internal problems, but it did not affect the atmosphere in the Rehabilitation Department. I would not change anything because I was the youngest in the department and the only Occupational Therapist. Since I always helped any physical therapist with their patients in my free time, they always taught me techniques or things that were new for me, and also they taught how to handle the difficult patients.
