If you have not seen this site which was posted previously
(kneeshop.com) consider taking time for a tour of their sites. This
is the future of O&P if we do not educate the the legislators,
consumers, therapists, referral sources, etc. This is happening in
Florida. This state has fairly tough requirements for O&P
practitioners. It seems that if you offer orthoses over the internet
or in a store without practitioner participation, that is fine. There
actually is a place for professional orthotists and prosthetists. I
was once proud of my experience and education. I was satisfied to be
an expert in a profession which takes most of a lifetime to truly
understand and practice.
I wish we could continue to practice but I don't know if we will
survive much longer if the discount warehouse concept continues. I
do not know how we have gotten to this point but all studies point to
an increased demand for O&P care and we seem to be facing being
flushed down the toilet.
How many people could provide what an experienced, well trained
practitioner can?
