Introduction
Hi, my name is Kristy and I live in Lubbock, Texas with my dog Bentley who is like my fur child, he will be 10 in November. I went to Texas Tech University for my undergraduate years and am graduating from the MHS program of St. Augustine this December of 2018. I currently work for an Orthopedic Surgeon at a hospital and contract to a small town high school covering their sports a couple days a week. My favorite city is my hometown city of Austin, TX. I would say that my positive characteristic is being optimistic about life’s situations which makes it easier to persevere through more difficult times. Things can’t be bad forever so there always has to be a brighter moment. I am hoping to gain from this class a better understanding of the different ways the female changes physically and physiologically over the different years and how that can affect the whole person.
Kristy,
ReplyDeleteAs a traveler I have been considering many cities in the south, as to avoid the snow in the winter, and Austin is at the top! I have had friends travel to Austin before and they have nothing but great things to say. You will have to let me know of Austin's top attractions and restaurants you would recommend!
I was wondering how you came across the contract with the school? Did you have your own IC license or did the school set you up with one? I have considered going home to Fl for short stints and that would work great with my neighborhoods school!
Nice meeting you! Enjoy the class!
Hey Kristy! You're right, Austin is an awesome city! Super funky... but, with cowboys (??) I love it! I can imagine that having insight to how the medical industry manages orthopedic surgical interventions will give you some unique perspective in these future discussions! I'm looking forward to learning from your experiences! Welcome!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristy! it is very nice to meet another Texan! I agree that Austin is at the top of my list of fun places as well. There is so much history and always so much to do and all walks of life. Tech is a great school but I do know for my family visits to Lubbock that there can be harsh weather there. I am sure that your experiences working for an orthopedic surgeon will better enable you to offer valuable nuggets in this course as we move forward. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Kristy! I'm glad to see another ATC in this class. I look forward to working with you in another class through the MHS program. How does Lubbock compare to Austin? I have always been interested in working in an orthopedic clinic so I am looking forward to hearing your perspective throughout this class.
ReplyDeleteHi Kristy, it is nice to meet you. I have always heard that Austin is a great town. I hope to see it some day. It sounds like you are an athletic trainer like me. I considered working for an orthopedic practice prior to leaving college athletics for ergonomics. I am excited to learn from you this fall.

ReplyDeleteGlad to see another physician extender here and am interested to compare roles. I have hear multiple people speak highly of the eclectic nature of Austin.

Hi Kristy! It's nice to have you in the course. I've never been to Lubbock, but I have to agree that Austin is great city. It's wonderful that you have an optimistic personality. I'm sure it has helped you through many difficult times, and it will continue to help you in the future. Researchers have shown that optimism is related to better health outcomes! : ) Looking forward to learning from you and getting to know you throughout the course.
