OK, I've been reading all of these listings and there is one thing that
truly amazes me. In any business, the better qualified individual to do the
job wins in the end. If in fact there is a PT or an unqualified O & P
practitioner in your area that is providing poor service to the patients, it
will become known not only amongst the clients but also the local physicians
who will in turn quit sending their patients to that place.
All professionals feel that their group is the only one that can provide a
PROPER service. Look at lawyers. When paralegals started helping people fill
out forms, the lawyers went nuts. How many of us want a lawyer at $250.00
plus per hour to fill out a form that a paralegal can legally do for $100.00
or less. The job is the same, the results are the same and you saved
$150.00.
The only way to protect your profession is to be the best at what you
provide. Don't rely on government regulations to protect you. It's far too
easy to get around regulations and still do the job.
That's my 2 cents worth and I sincerely hope I did not offend anyone with my
opinion.
