Progress in the works!

Today I had a quick walk and talk with Janie. We discussed the progress I had been making, and questions to ask both Bernie, and Brian. It turns out I will be interviewing Bernie next week at Cornell, with my long time teammate, Katie Peterson. Katie recently got a high ankle sprain, and has been consulting Bernie because of the hook-ups we have on the IHS b-ball team. So next week, I will interview Bernie and Katie, and Bernie will walk me through the steps of her rehab, and tactics to prevent this injury in the future. As for my interview with Brian Lee, the physical therapist at Island Health and Fitness, it will be through e-mail. I e-mailed him my questions, and he seemed eager to answer them for me. The questions are below......

1.) What got you interested in this field? Where did you go to college, get your undergraduate and graduate?

2.) How do you think college prepared you for your profession?

3.) How many hours a week do you work? And what are your main duties?

4.) What ranges of injuries do you specialize in?

5.) Could you describe the process of when a patient first walks in with an injury, until the day they are released? and all the steps of rehab in between

 6.) What is the most rewarding part/ frustrating part of your job?

7.) What is the most prevailing injury seen in high school girls? and do you see a trend?

8.) What do you feel the most important difference between injuries seen in high school vs. college athletes?

9.) How do you personally keep up with new developments in rehab, now that you're out in the field?

10.) Have you come across any new innovations since you studied in college? If so, what?
