Compromising Situation
I went into a patient’s room and the first thing he said was: “Are you here to have sex with me?” What do you say to that? I replied: “No, I’m the physio student and I am here to take you for a walk.” He said: “Oh, I really wish you were here to have sex with me.” I was really shocked and informed him that he was not to speak to me that way again as it was really inappropriate. I can’t even describe how I felt it was such a strange and upsetting situation. I later found out that he was transferred to the psych ward.

Actually I get that all the time. Just kidding. It’s crazy that he said that to you. Did he have a frontal lobe lesion? Honestly, I’m surprised you stayed and treated the guy. Patients have no right to talk to you like that in any environment, let alone in a clinical setting. It does make sense that he got transferred to a psych ward. Good thing we don’t have to work in psych wards as physios ey?
