Seems like clients are reading more blog posts and coming in with printouts. Honestly, it's a mixed bag because while it's good they're engaged, not every lame horse needs a radiograph right away. The tricky part is explaining why we might want to feel for a pulse or watch them move first before jumping to x-rays. Sometimes the best tool is still a good hands-on exam, you know? How do you explain that choice to an insistent client?

Yeah that "tiny win" thing hits hard. But does it hit different when it's something you've been stuck on for days versus just a quick fix? Like is the struggle what makes it feel good, or is it more about proving something to yourself?

iris_stone72, those weeds aren't just reporters, they're full-time historians writing the biography of that crack.
