As a consumer of prosthetic services, I too applaud Mr.Fries comments and
sincerely hope that all Florida licensed practitioners will take heed to his
words and contact the governor.I have personally witnessed the tragedy of
many Floridians whom have gotten the short end of unqualified and
unregulated services.
If those that are indifferent, could of only witnessed the consumer
testimonies at the regulation committee hearings,
they would see how important mandating meaninfull regulation/licensure is in
this country.
Every practitioner has witnessed the down side of unqualified services in
the evaluation of new patients in their own facility.
You all have worked too hard to gain the recognition of a licensed health
care professional.
No individual, state or federal law should dilute the current regulation
legislation nor jeopardize the integrity and credentials of a licensed
qualified professional risking, even a slight possibility of exposing any
patient to an nonqualified provider.

Steven Fries's(LPO) post:
For the good of our patients as well as our profession, standards
upholding higher education, clinical training, testing and experience must
be
upheld. The bar should not be lowered. I think there is some question
that
efforts to relax the requirements necessary to qualify for licensure will
only serve an ulterior motive.
This is a critical issue which I would encourage all to consider for its
impact upon the level of care provided to our patients, the value of our
licenses and the integrity of our profession. Should you share any of
these
concerns, you may wish to contact the Governor of the State of Florida.
Respectfully,
