Tony,
Call Heather at ABC. My dues are late, but my credentials are in order.
In review of your extensive reply I see nothing to indicate any education,
except a mention of tragic dillemas, advocacy practice, and social work.
My question was perhaps not worded correctly. Allow me to rephrase please.
What AMA, ABC, or BOC qualifications, or degrees do you hold.
While I salute your humanitarian endeavors and awards, I hardly think they
qualify you as a surgical procedure expert or prosthetist.
If I may, the team approach, would not exist without the patient, and
patient goals are certainly a large part of the equation, however, by
definitation team is still the best way to reach patient goals, I also
think a social worker has a place on the team, as long as it's on a first
hand professional basis. Not over the internet.
I'm sure we all welcome your opinions and thoughts, and I appreciate you
telling everyone where they come from.
Thank you;
