Hi everyone:
Thanks to everyone who has replied. It seems that in Florida pharmacists are exempt from O&P laws. In the spirit of the thing I feel it's only fair that we be allowed to dispense prescribed painkillers for our orthotic patients with pain. Muscle relaxants and botox for those with spasticity. It could a treatment in conjunction with the orthosis. Save them a extra trip to the drugstore too. And be able to bill for gait training and athletic training while we're at it. Okay, I'm kidding about the prescription drugs. Sort of. Paula

Hi Paula,
In its wisdom, the Florida legislature passed a law that states that licensed pharmacists are expempt from the O&P statutes in Florida. Recently I read the RI O&P Law. They specifically exempt Athletic Trainers from the O&P law in RI.

> I personally have not been a big fan of stock and bill closets, so I won't be very upset about the loss of them. I always thought there was too much legal gray area on these things. I also felt the orthotist was shut out on what the doctor was providing. That's just my personal opinion. On a sort-of-related topic, I was talking to an old long-lost friend of mine who is a pharmacist. He mentioned that pharmacists can now take a course to provide diabetic shoes. Has anyone heard about this or is he referring to becoming an orthotist fitter? (this is in Florida, a licensed state) Sincerely Paula
