World Occupational Therapy Day 2012
This past Saturday, October 27th 2012, was World Occupational Therapy Day. According to WFOT.org –> “WFOT World Occupational Therapy Day is the opportunity to heighten the visibility of the profession’s development work and to promote the activities of WFOT locally, nationally, and internationally.”
If you were looking for ideas or ways to help spread the word about World Occupational Therapy Day, WFOT’s website provided you with links to download logos, posters, and cover art. They gave you the rights to distribute and use their logos and cover art for free. As part of this amazing day, people created virtual exchanges, organized fundraising events, created massive amounts of blog articles, and hosted Twitter events.
Although WFOT recognizes October 27th as World Occupational Therapy Day, it has been a month long celebration of the occupational therapy profession. Additionally, just because the day has passed, does not mean that the promotion stops. Everyone involved in the occupational therapy profession needs to continue to create awareness and promote.

OK, I’m gonna try here, I just finished woknirg in a Physical Rehab Hospital for 7 years and I was a med nurse. Some of our pts got meds before pt and others did not, the above answers have it all covered. Sometimes the doc would say, let her try it first without and then if it is too painful, give her a little something.We are only licensed to practice medicine but we’re not perfect yet, and folks want definite answers. Get all the info and then trust your own judgment.My dentist just loves to get me on the other side of the situation. But I just tell him I am chicken and I ain’t gonna hurt. Actually he is very good about pain management.And about the disagreement, there is a world of coordination between all those disciplines and there are as many ways to skin a cat as there are cats. Allow for the subtle differences.Maybe some of this helps, I have 2 kids who want pat answers and don’t get them either. This internet can be the best and the worst about info, just get all the info you can from people you trust.Sorry to go on so long. Personally I think they are way smarter than most folks know, it’s just such a totally, awesomely hard career choice.
