There is a dedicated and compassion PT working in different settings. PT works for people of all ages, of various populations, of diverse characteristics and of different levels of function. Most of PT’s clients are these patients somehow seen by society as people that are to be pitied, to be taken care of for the rest of their lives and to be always deemed weak and fragile.
“A dedicated teacher in a racially divided Los Angeles
school has a class of at-risk teenagers deemed incapable of learning. Instead
of giving up , she inspires her students to take an interest in their education
and planning their future. She assigns reading material that relates to their
lives and encourages them all to keep journals.”
This is how Google summarizes the film. But what if it wasn’t
a film? What if I can make my own version of the film? Well, I would want to
read it this way:

But instead of accepting how the society thinks of them, PT does not give up on them. PT inspires them to be better and encourages them to be independent. Sometimes, PT would need to sacrifice things. But PT does not bother for as long as PT can make sure the patients would improve.
PT provides
them with exercise prescriptions, programs and protocols that are highly
relevant, appropriate and of interest to the clients and patients. PT always
takes into consideration the patients' motivations and perceptions. Sometimes
when presented with cases he was not really anticipating, PT still manages to adjust
and adapt treatments.
Sometimes PT goes home very tired and exhausted. Now we see that PT is not always this ideal. That PT is not perfect. But PT knows these things, and acts on it and strives to always be better. For even without someone giving PT a pat on the back, PT knows that what PT was doing is good . For even without someone enumerating his achievements, PT learned to know “where he actually is. Where he came from. And where he is going. And he knows exactly where in that spectrum he currently is.” (a)
