Dear Noemi,
Most physio' s, ot's are idealistic and you need to be a bit ''crazy'' to
choose for our profession. At least that's how I feel quite often after a
busy day picking up one of my kids from a babysitter and earning between 250
to 800 pounds a month in this country........
Greetings from a tropical place, about 30 degrees Celcius today,
and I love to read your e-mails,
Caroline
