Episode 1889 - Insurance vs. cash-based PT, pt. 2: Lessons from Treebeard

Alan Fredendall // #LeadershipThursday // www.ptonice.com 

In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, ICE Chief Operating Officer explores the surprising connections between the Lord of the Rings and physical therapy, emphasizing themes of community and action. The discussion begins with the character Treebeard, a giant, sentient tree who initially chooses to remain neutral and solitary amidst the chaos of the outside world. As the main characters urge him to take a side in their battle against evil, Treebeard's response highlights the importance of agency and the decision to engage or not engage in the struggles around us. The episode delves into how this metaphor relates to healthcare, encouraging listeners to consider their roles and responsibilities within their communities, especially in challenging times.
