Mr. Jones calls the clinic and says he needs a referral for physical therapy. He has c/o persistent left shoulder pain that started 3-days ago. Mr. Jones is well known to the care team, and is a personal friend of the physician. He has never been seen for his shoulder. You know your provider would do anything for Mr. Jones, but he is out of the office for the next couple days. You know if he was here he would probably order it anyways. So, you go ahead and order the PT eval.
