I successfully performed a rib HVT on a patient this week for the first time, having achieved success on fellow students during my last few attempts. It was a good feeling. I much prefer to use a technique on a patient when I feel I have a good chance of success, whereas I know some of my colleagues perform techniques on a patient as soon as possible for the practice and because it is more likely to work on someone who needs it. I really need to think about this, as maybe it is my friends who have the right idea. At this rate, the course will end and there will be techniques I haven't even tried on patients! That is not where I want to be in June.
We are looking at lumbars in technique now and it is good to revisit this most familiar presentation. There is still so much to learn though it is frightening!
