I hate having to explain to people that asking for a female practitioner means I don't want a man in the room, even. When I was confronted with him, I was so anxious about the appt already that I just said, uh, okay--I wasn't even asked, really, just sort of told who he was. As the appt went on, I thought, I'd really prefer he wasn't here--his future as a PT is not my problem and I don't feel obligated to help his with that. It's my body and my well-being and my money paying for this appt, dammit! So I tried to block him out and just concentrate on her and her kindness and helpfulness, and, next time, I'll say I'd prefer not to have any men present if he shows up again. I wish they wouldn't put me in that situation, especially since I'd asked for a female PT, but...you know, maybe I should call, tomorrow, and explain all this to a supervisory person. Maybe that would help. I don't like having to talk about this stuff, but I can, and I know there are people who can't, or who don't want to more than I don't want to. Maybe I should.
Aside from that, yes, it went well. :) I'm very hopeful about eventual recovery.
