Instead of suggesting ways for orthopedic technicians to get around the
educational requirements of the law, which by the way ,were established to
protect patients from untrained individuals, why don't you ask the
Orthopedic technicians to get the training necessary to practice safely if
they wish to be orthotists.
Why don't you stop playing games and let everyone know who you are
Charlie.We know about how O and P licensure has interfered with your own
personal financial asperations. Anyway you can bring the law down you are
going to try to do it for your own personal gain.The same old song ,
different day.
