Yurong Ren, DPT, at the Granger Rd. site: During my third session, I admitted I had not done the exercises. She proceeded to hassle me to give reasons, and they were never enough. Abusive. She spoke sternly, with an angry expression, and kept repeating that I was "disrespectful," which I took as a cultural quirk. She is not a native speaker of English but must have taken it when very young. It's the finer points of words she missed. I am not "impatient" (her note). I barely spoke, except to repeatedly request her to repeat her instruction because I could not HEAR her speaking several feet from me, not increasing her volume any that I could detect. I am certainly not "aggressive" (her note) -- a very loaded word. I do get easily annoyed, and that started right off when I asked for a copy of the last exercises and she would not do it. I had hoped for a "bad start, let's move on" ending. She made it known she cracked the door for others to hear, like I'm a threat??? I could barely walk nonstop for 3 minutes in a prior session. Ha! I should have walked. She disengaged with my exercises, stopped counting reps. She pushed me to go to the 1311 US 302 site. I refused because it is a much more inconvenient bus route to my home. At the end, she dismissed me as a patient, which I do not know whether it was to assert power or to make sure the practice got a payment if I had walked in the first 15 minutes instead. read more
