You bet they are, I was at the hearing that Mr. Baracas mentioned in an
earlier post, in which he described for the board, the practice of the
orthopedic technologist, a name I believe coined by Mr. Baracas to help
promote his new school, yes you read correct, HIS SCHOOL of orthopedic
technology. As I recall, his description of unsupervised fracture casting
enraged the physician board member, rebutting Mr. Baracas' description of
the normal day to day, orthopedic technologists practice as highly
unethical in general and unethical/illegal for any physician to prescribe or
condone.
