Best Answer

If you mean, is it easier to perform the jobs of a physical therapist or a sports doctor, then the physical therapist will probably exert more muscles in the course of a day's work than a doctor would. Both have to carry liability insurance and the mental anguish associated with the need to have that insurance. It is easier and quicker to go to school to become a physical therapist than it is to become a licensed physician specializing in sports medicine. It is harder physically to be a physical therapist, but it is harder intellectually and educationally to be a physician- because you will have to go one of the MD (medical doctor), DC (chiropractor)or ND (naturopathic doctor)routes.

Is it safe to take 50mg prednizone every 6 hours for 30 hours and thien just quit?

You got your prescription for prednisone from your doctor. You should ask your doctor. You received your prescription for a specific problem. Your doctor may want to taper your medicine down either because it is not safe to suddenly quit the medicine or because that way mild symptoms might return that are easier to take care of rather than full blown symptoms if you suddenly stop the medicine. Without knowing the specifics of the reason why you are taking that large a dosage of prednisone, it is difficult for anyone other than a doctor following your case to advise you.

Should a patient's tracheostomy be capped before they eat?

Beyond Medicine. Having a tracheostomy affects your ability to eat and affects the kinds of food that you can eat. Your ability to eat depends on your medical condition as well as on your tracheostomy. A speech therapist will work with you to evaluate your ability to swallow with the tracheostomy in place. Also, your therapist can help answer questions about your particular dietary needs and preferences. Some people will not be able to eat at all and they will receive nutrition through a tube placed in the stomach. In this case, you may be able to have a few bites of food for pleasure, but only if you are able to swallow safely. Discuss this with your doctor, Tracheostomy: Caring for Yourself at Home respiratory therapist, and/or speech therapist. Together, you, your doctor, respiratory therapist, and speech therapist will determine if you are able to eat. If you are safely able to eat, here are a few tips to make swallowing easier with a tracheostomy: • Sit up as straight as you can. • Deflate the tracheostomy cuff while you eat. • Use a cap on the tracheostomy tube or a speaking valve while you are eating. A cover on the tube will help you swallow. Information from © 2003 - 2010 California Pacific Medical Center.
