Hello, it's Mikayla with Fix. SLP, I actually have a story that I feel like applies that I don't talk about too often. I was one month into my career, so I was in my clinical fellowship year, and I was working in a very rural skilled nursing facility in Michigan. I was working with a resident who had dementia, and I remember I was seeing her at breakfast in her room. She was upright in a chair, but she was having a lot of pain, and just kept wanting to get back to bed. So I remember finding the PTA, who happened to be walking down the hall, and asking if she could help get the patient back in bed. She went to grab an aide for assistance, and the aid and the PTA began to bicker about how to go about getting this patient back in bed. Long story short, the aid became just frustrated, and she shoved the patient back. And thankfully, the patient did not hit her head, but she was really close. The patient ended up falling back on the bed, and the bed was against the wall. There was no injury. However, it was very jarring and pretty traumatic for everybody involved. The aid ended up storming out, and the PTA went to immediately report to the appropriate people, being the administrator, the director of rehab while I remained with the patient, and that is where I personally, quote, unquote, went wrong here. So with this specific company, they did have a policy in our handbook that stated, If abuse occurs, we are first to remain with the patient to ensure their safety, and then immediately report the incident, which is what occurred. So I remained with the patient while administration was brought back to discuss what occurred. Given this was now over a decade ago, but in my head, I feel like it was like maybe 10 minutes of me waiting with the patient, feeling pretty shocked and honestly pretty afraid of what was going on, but administration came back and basically told me and the PTA to keep her mouth shut, to keep our heads down, they were going to handle it. Even being one month into my career, I recognized that this was wrong, so the PTA and I called the state, and by the time the state actually got in there, I had been written up on a pip I had been suspended, and it was all really traumatic for me. I had trusted my clinical fellowship supervisor. I really put a lot of faith in her to have my back. And looking back, she just didn't. She was not on site, but she was pretty close with management. Later, kind of worked her way up in the company. And I just realized they just wanted a body there in the rural skilled nursing area, like they they just want to keep me there. And I knew after all of that, that I was either going to quit or I was going to get transferred. Those were the only options for me. I ended up being transferred. However, it was a nightmare remaining there for a few months from July until I was transferred to a big. City another skilled nursing facility, but in a bigger city in September, I was dealing with honestly, a lot of harassment from my Dor. She would tell me I needed to come in at 7am when no one else was there, but she did not give me a key to the therapy room, so I had to rely on nursing if they had a key, but sometimes I would literally not be able to get into the therapy room for over an hour. I would walk in on this director, talking about me, calling me names. It was really hostile. And nobody in the company had my back. I transferred to another sniff, and it was a wonderful experience, I swear, having an amazing experience saved me in that company. And two and a half years later, I became a director for that company. I was a director of rehab for many years for them, and I just have this theory that not all, but some of the best therapists are the ones that stand up even when companies or other people try to scare them into shutting their mouths. So I always promote advocating for your patients, because it doesn't mean that you advocating is the end of your career. In fact, it's probably setting you up for bigger things down the road.
