Physiotherapy Hypertext Narrative

It all started like this.

I am a high school student. I have to choose a program for the CEGEP. Which program should I choose?

Choice 1 : Go in Physical Rehabilitation technique.

Choice 2 : Don't go to CEGEP and I find a job.

Choice 3 : Go in Natural Science.

A lot of questions

Go in Physical Rehabilitation technique.

Physical Rehabilitation technique is a great choice. Plus I got straight A's. I got accepted at the University of Montreal in Physiotherapy. That was my number one choice! Which teacher should I pick?

Choice 1 : Choose Karen Tremblay as my professor.

Choice 2 : Choose Livia Champlain as my professor.

Choose Karen Tremblay as my professor.

On August 28th, I attended my first class with Mrs. Tremblay. She explained the outline and taught us few concepts like the components of bones and muscles. She told us to have good time management because we will definitely have to work overtime. She added that it was highly possible that we feel overwhelmed by all the work to be done. Oh, and I almost forgot that she told us that we might get sexually assaulted by one of our clients one day. Should I stay in her course?

Choice 1 : Leave her course.

Choice 2 : Continue the course.

Miss Tremblay

Leave her course.

So, I've left Professor Tremblay course. I'm going to get out of the loans and bursaries program and start looking for a job. Except Physiotherapy program, I would be interested in working in customer service. I could help and serve people in another way. On the other hand, working in customer service is more often than not boring and a dead-end job. This job is just not for me. Try again.

Choice 1 : GAME OVER

Game Over

Choose Livia Champlain as my professor.

On September 4th, I attended my first class with Mrs. Champlain. She was super nice and caring. She is smiling and she helps us a lot. I'm really glad I chose this teacher. Soon, I became one of her favorite. I stayed in her class for the rest of my studies in Physiotherapy. She then asked me if I would like to be her assistant for the next couple of years, this way I could learn the ropes of the profession.

Choice 1 : Refuse the position and apply in a clinic.

Choice 2 : Accept the position.

Livia Champlain

Continue the course with Mrs. Tremblay.

I would have thought that you would have set aside the possibility of Mrs. Tremblay becoming my teacher. So, you are curious! You will get your money's worth, because, in the second class, Professor Tremblay told us she was going through a difficult time. So, she confided in us about her retirement, her lack of love and her children who are so maddening. At least we briefly talked about the types of fractures. Now, what should I do?

Choice 1 : Leave her course.

Choice 2 : Continue Professor Tremblay's course.

Continue Professor Tremblay's course.

Now you are really curious! If you want to know everything, my third class with Mrs. Tremblay went very well. We talked about anatomy in depth, and I loved it. We also talked about diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, stroke and diabetes. We can continue to talk badly about Mrs. Tremblay, but at least she knows her subject matter thoroughly.

Choice 1 : Leave her course.

Choice 2 : Take Mrs. Tremblay's fourth class.

Take Mrs. Tremblay's fourth class.

For the fourth class, I was persuaded to learn more about anatomy, but no. Mrs. Tremblay decided to talk about the alienation and the office politics of her former job. I need to get out of here.

Choice 1 : Leave her course.

Refuse the position and apply in a clinic.

After refusing Ms. Champlain's offer, I immediately applied to the physiotherapy clinic closest to my home. The purpose was, of course, to drive as little as possible. I have been working for this clinic for two years now. However, the wage is not enough. What should I do now?

Choice 1 : Start my own physiotherapy clinic.

Choice 2 : Apply to the hospital.

Clinic

Accept the position.

During my OJT with Mrs. Champlain, I was able to meet different health care professionals. One surgeon even asked me if I wanted to train as his intern for a day, so I could see what open-heart surgery was like. I was able to admire the doctors' drive of work. Honestly, I loved my experience. I was able to learn a lot. In addition, I can now have a premium wage because of the different experiences I have acquired. In short, it was really worthwhile. Now, I feel ready for a new experience. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Start my own physiotherapy clinic.

Choice 2 : Apply to the hospital.

Surgeon

Start my own physiotherapy clinic.

I decided to start my own physiotherapy clinic. It was a foot in the door for me because I always wanted to have my own clinic. I started to make contacts slowly and withholding. After gaining confidence, everything went really well. I now have two physiotherapy companies. Let me tell you, it takes a lot of energy and effort, but having my own company was the fulfillment of a childhood dream. You have reached the finish line, you can start playing again.

Choice 1 : It all started like this.

physiotherapy clinic

Apply to the hospital.

I applied to the hospital and got an interview. I think they liked me a lot because I got the job. They said I was going to be useful in the dislocation department, but in the end, I came in handy in the surgery department. I worked in this hospital for 5 years. My boss and I are very close. One day, she told me that she felt invaluable to the smooth running of the hospital and that it caused her a lot of pressure. She mentioned getting sucked up in this situation. She then asked my opinion. I said, "If I were you, I would..."

Choice 1 : ... not ask my opinion because I don't care.

Choice 2 : ...take time to rest and travel.

Hospital

... not ask my opinion because I don't care.

I don't think I need to tell you that she simply wanted to abolish me. I found myself unemployed and depressed. You lost the game, start over.

Choice 1 : It all started like this.

depression

...take time to rest and travel.

When I told her that, she looked thoughtful. She replied that it was a really good idea and that we should go around the world together. Let me tell you that I didn't hesitate a single second. I answered yes immediately. So, we left two vacant positions at the hospital, and we were off to conquer the world. You have finished the game, you can start playing again.

Choice 1 : It all started like this.

World

Don't go to CEGEP and I find a job.

I tried to dissuade myself that I could live a comfortable life without studying, but unfortunately McDonald's doesn't give me enough income. I will have to put this option aside. You lost, restart the game.

Choice 1 : It all started like this.

McDonald's

Go in Natural Science.

I choose to go to Natural Sciences. The only problem is that I'm not good at science or math. So, that's a big drawback for me. My other problem is that if I want to get into the Physical Therapy program at University, I have to pull off my grades. I need to make friends, so they can help me. I have to choose between the popular gang or the nerd gang. Who am I going with?

Choice 1 : Choose the nerd gang.

Choice 2 : Choose the popular gang.

Choose the nerd gang.

I have to admit that the nerds were very weird at first. On the other side, they helped me a lot in school. I learned all the ins-and-outs of science and mathematics. Because of my straight A's, I was able to get into the Physiotherapy program easily at University. Congratulations, you have finished the game. You can play again.

Choice 1 : It all started like this.

Nerds

Choose the popular gang.

I choose the popular gang. They didn't like me very much at first. However, after 3 weeks, they finally liked me. I went to bars and all kinds of parties. I had a lot of fun. However, I didn't get straight A's, so I missed the opportunity to have an internship and my parents took my pension away. What do I have to do?

Choice 1 : Leave everything and go on a trip.

Choice 2 : Keep partying.

Popular girls

Leave everything and go on a trip.

I choose to travel alone. I dread the trip a lot. In fact, I was excited but scared at the same time. After 1 month of traveling alone, I met a boy in Greece, and we fell madly in love. We lived happily ever after and had lots of children. You have finished the game, you can play again.

Choice 1 : It all started like this.

wedding

Keep partying.

I kept partying for another month. Afterwards, I had no more money. I applied to work in a grocery store. I was a trainee for a week. Now, I'm a cashier. I don't like this job at all, and I will be homeless soon because I don't make enough money to pay for my apartment. You have lost the game, play again.

Choice 1 : It all started like this.

Grocery
