🚨 THE UNOFFICIAL DICTIONARY OF PHYSICAL THERAPY HAS A NEW ENTRY.
EVALANCHE (noun)
The sudden, catastrophic arrival of new patient evaluations precisely when you thought you might have a normal day.

10:30 AM: “GREAT NEWS! WE FILLED YOUR SCHEDULE!”
Sir, that’s not great news.
That’s an EVALANCHE. 🏔️
Symptoms include:
• Sudden loss of lunch
• Spontaneous documentation debt
• Whispering “how is this possible?” into your coffee

📖 Real experiences. Fake words. Painfully accurate definitions.
