The general tone of the conversation was... (not real names)
- Jen has the most amazing ass I've ever seen, after she's done working my back I need a few minutes before I can stand up. Best part of my day.- John doesn't get me hard, I don't feel any sense of awkwardness when I work with him, so that's who I prefer.
- I don't have a preference.
- Jen's is very sensitive to my pain, so I like going with her.
- John is tough and straight to business, I like having him represent me to my claim manager.
how often do you get this? the first commentary?

also, to your point about meshing with your personality, do you mean physios that are outgoing and socialize with you? Or is it the type that knows what's best for you and your pain and knows what you like/don't like in terms of treatment?
