On my neuro prac, we have had one patient in particular who has really taken to us.....She is only 46 and had a major stroke just before our clinic started, so we were the first to see her, and her and her husband have made jokes about adopting us, have bought us chocolate (despite us saying thanks, but you don't need to etc etc), and have just been so nice to us and appreciative of our help that saying goodbye to them was actually quite hard......I felt bad as they haven't had good experiences with the hospital in some areas, and we've been what they've called the only consistent positive thing in her therapy!
It has been a really positive experience to work with this pt as she has made quite large gains quite quickly with us, and although she is a heavy pt, the work we've put in has really paid off for her.....I really hope it continues!
Anyway I won't ramble either - I'm too exhausted from clinic and this week has had too much assessment time in it to write anymore!!!

I have also finished my neuro placement, and I had few patients that were hard to say good buy to, as you do get used to them and get to know them quite well. So it will be strange, going in to the next placement and meeting new patients with new problems.
I guess its just the way things go……
