Disturbing

Experienced disturbing images at work and postwork. My coworkers were yelling at each other while the PT, head supervisor and I watched and listened in shock. I felt bad considering the psychologist and other clinicians passed, stopped and listened in utter awe to hear grown women argue. Not only does it hurt the reputation of our department, but the children as well. Really they are the most innocent ones and shouldn't receive limited quality of service because of personal issues/ ill assumptions. Out team discussed about clear communication (nonverbal and verbal), flexibility and owing respect/acknowlegement.
After the numbing experience, the rest of the day was slow. I only treated 3 patients with some back and forth education to teachers about their students. My head was in a fog. Clearly, this was everyone's concern. I do have some silent and uncomfortable moments with a contract PT that I would like to settle things with. Work gets so draining and a bother when you avoid someone, and can't collaborate as a team for one child's treatment plan. Perhaps, I'll approach him. ..share some concerns/solution with him. Other shock was to hear that an EI student of mine will not be returning back, instead will transition to another specialized preschool. I felt discouraged b/c I'm thinking the parents weren't happy with my performances. I felt kinda proud that a few of her goals have been achieved within 2 months although the parents don't think so (my assumptions). I then realized that I lacked active communication with them regarding the child's progress in class, and educate them on home activities to carry over. Families (as righteously assumed) do want to get involved.
Another disturbing images. Going to and from work, I usually see this sister and brother (estimated 10 and 8 year old) being real boisterous and obnoxious in the bus. While going home I ran into them in the bus again.. this time wrestling in their seats and suddenly making incestuous acts on each other. It was sooo very distrubing and disturbing that I had to pretend that this never happened. Sometimes I wonder about the influence from the media, and what goes on at home.
Another lesson i learned...Parents do get every protective about their child's performances in school. I watched a child's father asking about the percentages of his child's delay. Number was a big factor to him. I realized I need to be totally nonjudgemental, watch my words and not put words in their mouth. I also had to run away from the kid because the child kept charging after and hitting me.
One shock after the other this week. Tomorrow is Friday. TGIF!
