Mr. De Wees,
Your e-mail was very well stated. I commend you for your honesty and courage
to state the reality of the present situation. I share many of your concerns
and have experienced similar situations regarding the specific cases you
detailed. I understand your bitterness with ABC, but I also understand their
actions and attempts at unification of O & P credentialing. We (the O & P
profession; not industry) need to get our own house in order. This situation will
continue until we achieve unification and credentialing based upon valid
(ethical, educational, experiential, legal, etc.) standards. At present, I
believe the most effective way is through state licensure and accreditation.
Although, I do not always agree with Tony Barr, I believe his statements about
this matter are correct. As Pogo once said: We have met the enemy, and it is
us.
