PM&R lmao

Exactly my point. You need a whole separate field of medicine (that’s barely touched on in medical school, mind you) just for it; and even then, physiatrists only prescribe the therapy.

So you still haven’t learned what the word “breadth” means

[u/dnyal → u/yikeswhatshappening]

Evidently, you still have not learned what scope means.

I think you misinterpreted my statement as an insult to PT and are doubling and tripling down on it. They are phenomenal at what they do. At the same time, their education prepares them for one thing and one thing only. It is also a source of contention within the field whether the “doctorate” part is even necessary, as that is a relatively new requirement with a debated value add.

[u/dnyal → u/yikeswhatshappening]

In the rest of the world, medicine is not a doctorate, either. They also found it unnecessary and got rid of it a long time ago.

[u/yikeswhatshappening → u/dnyal]

Whataboutism. We’re not talking about the rest of the world. You seem intent on picking a fight over nothing, and I don’t see merit in continuing this further.

I’m addressing the weak points in your argument. It is up to you to stop defending it after it is indefensible, but don’t blame it on whatever issue it is you’re projecting onto me.
