Why did I walk away from my career as a physical therapist?

Painful because I’m openly sharing why I chose to walk away from a great profession. As a matter of fact, this one is going to take some courage to hit the “publish” button.

If they refuse to debate on such matters, or keep you in suspension, be sure you can end it. Knowing your own progress is crucial to functional therapy.

Is it normal for a therapist to forget something?
