Physiotherapists are paid more than us.
Which other 'profession' can be paid less than us?! 
And nope... they are not 'more slack'. They do a lot of hard work
when they work with patients in the ward. Like us, they have to do
a lot of lifting, positioning and supporting of patients, so they
end up getting backache like us.
They also run outpatient clinics where people who have been injured
or who have suffered from some illness that caused them to lose
mobility but have since gotten well, go to for specially designed
exercises to help them restore and regain as much mobility as they
could.
To be a physiotherapist, you have to love people, and be very very
patient. Some patients need a lot a lot of coaxing and sometimes,
you'll end up standing with the patients for a long time,
supporting them, as they take one small, tiny babystep.
Physiotherapists also have to give 'Chest Physio' to patients. When
patients have a lot of secretions in their lungs or airways, the
physio steps in to pound the back of these patients, and perform
suctioning to help remove these secretions to help them breathe
better.
If you're paranoid about cleanliness, then you might not be able to
perform the Physio role well. Some of the patients look dirty, and
they might stink, or they are incontinent, but the physios still
have to work with them, touching them, having close contact with
them.
If you'd like to be a Physio, you need to have 'A' levels. Why not
