Received this yesterday from Tony Barr, and found it quite unbelievable.
Out of 50 states, there are only 4 requiring practitioners in O & P be
licensed. Four! You mathematicians out there can certainly figure out
that's only 8%. I find this to be a deplorable statistic and hope
practitioners in those states not currently licensed are at least beginning
efforts to change that.
To date, I have received no response from Virginia practitioners with
regards to my post earlier in the month. There are those outside this state
ready and willing to help out any way they can. Why can't we get someone
from inside the state?
I've written to my congressman about protecting the general public needing
our services and suggest that others do the same.
