Welcome back to Untold Physio Stories podcast. I'm your host Dr. E with Mitomanial Therapy and Edge Mobility System. Today, my guest is Dr. Noah Merrick. How's it going today, Noah? It's going good. Thank you for having me on, Arsen. Yeah, no problem. What's that? Yeah, no. Hey, yeah, I know. I can tell people if you guys have ever, if you have a guest, if I have a guest, he's like been following me for a while. You are respectful enough to say that. But, you know, I always just say I go by Dr. E because everyone gets my first and last name wrong, you know, and it gets old after all. Like, oh, yeah, first I think they didn't hear it right. And then they heard it right. Then they asked how to spell it. Then they look at it and like, oh, whatever. They think it's Erickson, or Erskine. And then they butcher my last name, too. And, you know, Dr. E is just easier. Nice. Yeah. But I mean, I do like being called doctor. And as I'm sure you do, you want to give a quick intro and then your story? Yeah.

But my for a little context, I mean, the context of this talk is on like the effect of putting your diploma up on the wall and how that can influence patient interactions and just, I think, just perceptions. So I started in a private practice for about one year and it was actually really nicely, like it was a really nice look and aesthetic to it. And my boss basically right away asked for my diploma and he got it framed. And like kind of it's not like it's not a gold-plated frame. Like I've heard you talk about that you got 10 previously, but it's like a nice frame. It was put up on like one of the treatment walls and we had like a couple of rooms. So it wasn't always displayed, but it was kind of nice having like my frame diploma up there in a nice aesthetically like pleasing clinic fast forward a year. I ended up taking a job in a hospital based outpatient orthopedic clinic. And I have like this job a lot in many different ways. It's a slower pace, really experienced and smart colleagues. But I remember when I showed up on my first day because I'd interviewed virtually
