Andy and Daniel discuss two ways that a patient can enter the healthcare system, and how these ways can lead to drastically different outcomes depending on how quickly they get the care they need.

As PT's, especially for new grads, it can be difficult when to determine if a patient is appropriate for discharge.  Obviously, it would be great if everybody met 100% of their goals, but we know that is not always the case.  Andy and Daniel discuss their rationale for their thought process about when it is appropriate for a patient to be discharged from therapy.
