25

00:52.290 --> 00:56.140
challenges

00:56.150 --> 00:59.620
in theater . Our supplies ,

00:59.630 --> 01:02.690
um Not being able to do ethnic as you

01:02.690 --> 01:04.857
would like to for a patient not having

01:04.857 --> 01:07.023
access to the diagnostic studies . For

01:07.023 --> 01:08.912
example , M . R . I . Cast can or

01:08.912 --> 01:12.800
sometimes even more wealthy stuff like

01:12.810 --> 01:14.977
A C . L . Braces for somebody with the

01:14.977 --> 01:17.143
problem hearing this stuff in . That's

01:17.143 --> 01:19.199
the biggest challenge and having the

continuing education program to do in

01:21.310 --> 01:22.220
the States . Um

01:26.940 --> 01:33.390
I

01:33.400 --> 01:36.080
like my job . I love it . In fact one

01:36.080 --> 01:38.191
of the few jobs in the military where

01:38.191 --> 01:40.413
you can actually see the effort you put

01:40.413 --> 01:42.590
into it with a patient from personally

01:42.590 --> 01:45.550
not walking to walking instead of time .

01:45.550 --> 01:47.772
And you know , you played a fundamental

01:47.772 --> 01:49.883
role in getting them up and about and

01:49.883 --> 01:51.828
walking around and improving their

01:51.828 --> 01:53.772
actively living skills , basically

01:53.772 --> 01:56.210
getting them better . So I love my job .

01:56.220 --> 02:00.050
My job as far as in the C you cannot

02:00.050 --> 02:02.106
look at physical therapy . Just as a

02:02.106 --> 02:04.328
job , you have to look into account all

02:04.328 --> 02:07.030
the different parts of the medical team

02:07.030 --> 02:09.197
who come together . That's the medical

02:09.197 --> 02:11.363
team . You're part of the team . Yes ,

02:11.363 --> 02:13.474
we are very important because we have

02:13.474 --> 02:15.450
the patients with getting back to

02:15.450 --> 02:17.394
normal , okay , Like for example a

02:17.394 --> 02:20.650
soldier who has ankle sprain in theater ,

02:20.660 --> 02:22.827
if you could not treat him and getting

02:22.827 --> 02:24.938
back to functionality duty , he might

02:24.938 --> 02:26.882
be getting rid of black long stool

02:26.882 --> 02:28.938
that's hit the unit , takes on their

02:28.938 --> 02:30.993
rosters and affects the manpower and

02:30.993 --> 02:32.938
this and effectiveness that we can

02:32.938 --> 02:35.160
provide with the soldiers in theater as

02:35.160 --> 02:37.271
far as combat operations code . So us

02:37.271 --> 02:39.560
in theater it helps training the units

02:39.560 --> 02:41.504
and helping the units maintain the

02:41.504 --> 02:43.616
effectiveness and the manpower levels

02:43.616 --> 02:46.940
up and strength and also basically what

02:46.940 --> 02:48.996
the mm model is considered the party

02:48.996 --> 02:51.051
strength . We conserved the fighting

02:51.051 --> 02:53.218
strength , but it's not just us , it's

02:53.218 --> 02:55.329
a whole combination of other services

02:55.329 --> 02:58.360
that form one team , but .
