Superb idea for an RCT!! When will you start on it? I understand peristalsis has quite a profound effect on initiation of positive feelings.
This is becoming quite a gutsy thread. Rick, are you suitably impressed?

Perhaps reading stimulates the parasympathetic system, thus facilitating robust digestive processes. I'll be in the control group of the study, by the way...... :)

Nari,
I hope to begin my pilot study tonight sometime. I think within in the experimental group I'll have one group eat nothing but ruffage and the other eat chili with all the toppings. I will measure...nevermind! This has gone a bit overboard. :) By the way, loved your "gutsy thread" comment. Pun intended?
Sarah,
Sorry, but I have placed you in the experimental group instead of the control. :)
Now I'll practice a little more couth. I usually do most of my reading at night while in bed. Having the light on doesn't bother Mrs. Adams because as soon as she hits the pillow she's out! I probably read an hour or so and then go to bed. Otherwise, I read on the 'dunny' or during my lunch break.
Probably 3 out of the 5 work days I also find time to peruse some articles after dinner, but I usually spend that time with my 9 1/2 month old daughter.

Moves me?
Personally I think two things are time wasted unless you can do something else at the same time. Digestive intake and output.

Wow, talking about veering off the path of the topic!
I have always done my reading when I go to bed. It is quite easy to take a journal/copy of an article to bed, and read before turning off the light. My old boss did this, and said I should read one article a night. Most can be knocked off in 10-15 minutes, unless you're going to get anal (not related to all the potty talk above) and dig into the article and critique.
That was my impetus to start the website (the one that is still crashed), figuring I'd just wake up early, type an abstract about what I learned for others to enjoy.

Ok, Ok I get the picture, time to replace "The Florida Sportsman" I keep next to the comode with issues of SPINE, JOSPT, JMMT ect. You can all take comfort in knowing that you have saved the life of a redfish.
Thanks for all of the in, err, output.

Sebastian and Rick,
Way to keep the puns going. :)
I wish I could keep issues of Spine and JMMT next to my commode (I prefer dunny...thanks Nari), but sheesh they are expensive! The only reason I receive JOSPT is because of my being an orthopedic section member.

Actually, this talk of commodes intrigues me. In Oz a commode is strictly a thing on wheels where disabled persons can be wheeled into the dunny.
Had no idea there were so many disabled PTs in North America.... :eek:

So how do y'all (that's you all to those who are unfamiliar with Southern speak) get articles from Spine, JMMT, or other interesting journals? Do you have a subscription or do you order single articles? I've checked into both options, but again, too expensive for me.

Chris, the hospital I work in has the journal subscriptions. All I have to do is search for an article on pubmed at work and the full text appears. It's a nice perk. However, hauling the CPU and Monitor to the toliet presents a challenge ;) .

The same applies to me at the hospital I work at. Lots of different venues to get online articles. Lots of people use the computers at the library and its a scramble to find one but once you do, there is time to read.

Chris, I subscribed to Spine for one year at about 400$ per year and soon realized it would take me about 10 years to read all that I wanted to. Now I search abstracts on spine.org and go to local college library if I really must have the full text.

Well, that does it for me then. I'm going to call my employer and let her know that I'm going to work at a hospital. :) I know I could find a way to get the CPU and monitor in the restroom. Hell, don't you remember George Castanza's restroom on Seinfeld? The only thing he was lacking was shelves full of 'Spine' and 'JMMT'!

Chris,
Try becoming a clinical instructor for a local PT program. Most offer adjunct professor status for doing this, and thus you get university privileges such as library use, gym, pool. Some of the more liberal colleges will hook you up with a drunk sorority girl.
The local orthopods let me use their journals all the time. I made a bin in their office and put copies of articles in it I have read from journals I know they do not get. I think they are happy to see me attempting to learn and grow. When physicians see the volume of stuff I have read for PTupdate.com, they feel so much more comfortable sending me their patients.
After all, isn't referring the patient to the PT a reflection back on themselves? If they send their patinets to a schmuck, they will most likely lose that patient themselves, and have to deal with some crap also. Remember...a PT can make or break the surgical outcome for an orthopod or neurosurgeon. We can make them look **** good, but can also make them look really bad too!
Did you know that you can get a lot for free? Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehab will give you a free one for trying the journal, and a few of the companies will mail you a free copy of most of their journals.
The British Journal of Sports Medicine has most of their slightly older stuff online for free via .pdf files. Metapress also has lots of different journals, and one free issue from most.
As I have said before...reading one article a day really is not that hard, and will make you so much better as a PT
