OMG seven people involved in physical therapy made you think they were cunts
which, given that they were almost certainly trying to encourage you to do something which was probably a bit painful but likely to benefit you in the long term is hardly surprising.
(Bazongaloid, Sat 18 Dec 2010, 14:06, Reply)

I'm not stupid Al
I'm pretty good at knowing what's good for me. Repeated humiliation and attempts to and I quote 'break you before we fix you' are not part of the recovery process. It's indicative of a inherent sadism in an individual that I personally find distasteful. Given that it's thanks to my wonderful physiotherapists that I had to relearn by myself to walk, because they never bothered correcting the genuine faults I had, I find it hard to find any gratitude.
