Gait belts on and nerves held tight,
“Bend your knees—protect your spine!”
Count to three (or maybe four),
Why does this feel like leg day lore?
The “patient” laughs, the chair scoots back,
Someone forgot the wheelchair lock—ack!
But step by step, they start to see:
Don’t lift alone, use biomechanics (and coffee).
Awkward now, but soon they’ll be pros,
Saving backs and toes (and egos).
From bed to chair, with skill and grace—
DPT1’s please don’t drop the patient case
