Hi there,
I work at a mental hospital in Canada, (mind you it is not an acute hospital), and we see a very broad range of problems. Some are ordinary ortho problems, sore backs, hips, knees, etc., but what can make these a challange is the inability of the patients to give a clear history, if any at all. We also have a lot of neuro problems, head injuries, effects of longstanding substance abuse, dementias, Parkinson's, Huntington's, brain disorders due to infections,etc. A large part are also problems relating to medications, gait and balance problems, movement disorders etc. It can be very challenging, and certainly is never dull
have fun.
