Dear all in o&P lists.
There is no such thing as an Orthtoic
I am an Orthotist, who works in the field of orthotics. On a daily basis
I prescribe & supply orthoses (singular, orthosis) As far as I know
I've never manage to fit an Orthotic?????
I'll check with my flatmate if he has ever prescribe a Prosthetic, but I
think not. Can anybody tell me who the hell decided to call an Orthosis
and Orthotic.
Just got to be an American...;-)
So please, please all of you in America land speak English!!!!!!
Thanx..;-)
