Lauren O'Donohue, Physiotherapist
Me and My Job
Friendly and professional
My work isn't always serious. Because I work so closely with my patients, I get to know them really well. Once I get to know a patient, I try to create a relaxed and informal atmosphere. I try to have some fun with them and joke around a bit. I hear about their families, what they're doing in their lives. We talk about what's important to them, what's stressing them out.
I do have to maintain a certain degree of professionalism at work. I can be friendly with them while maintaining a good working relationship and healthy boundaries.
