Helping People Is This Physical Therapist's Cool Job
Dr. Yasmen Ibrahim's job is cool even when she is working in the 92-degree rehabilitation pool. Any weekday will find this physical therapist working with a patient in the medical fitness center, in the physical therapy clinic or in the pool. She is very visible and very busy and it is easy to see that she enjoys her chosen career.
"I like the variety of patient problems; in one session, I may be working with a post-surgical patient and in the next session I may be working with a patient with neurological problems or sports-related injuries," she said.
