I'm all for more respect among us colleques. ;^) Now you have really peaked
my interest about this PT school. I was just being lectured to by Terry
Supan that O&P licensure/certification was not a moving target. I think
I'll hang on for just a little while longer before I throw my hat in this
bull ring. It just wouldn't do to think I was qualified to make legs for
a real patient when someone else can come along and tell me I'm not
qualified to make a prosthesis for a dog. The way this wind is blowin I
better check to see if my leg is still fastened on right!..... Yep, its
still on OK by Ossur.

Best to you all and to all a good night.
