Are you feeling ok? PT's have been providing custom foot orthotics for years, that is not exclusively within your scope. Something pretty much everyone doesn't understand (including yourself) is that there is often overlap within professions, but because you do something that is similar to a PT, that does not mean you practice or provide PT, or are even remotely an expert in PT. I wonder how many "disasters" you've caused by recommending to patient's they get your custom orthotics and then they come and see someone like me and tell me how much worse it made them feel. That's ok though.
Did the hospital you're referring to say they provide podiatry on a PT website, or did a PT imply or explicitly state that? I didn't think so. Once again, care to address why you/your colleagues 99% of time do not include their rationale for their "PROM only" etc, genius commentary? How come you think PT's have to call you about their POC to make recommendations about their POC? Sorry, but that doesn't make sense.
I attempted to be diplomatic, and thought that maybe you had come to your senses and would be civil. But AGAIN you make a personal attack on ME and fabricate some scenario about the orthoses (not orthotics) that I've made causing a disaster.
Have I attacked your integrity, skills or credibility? The answer is a strong "no", so I will recommend you refrain from doing this again. At least act like a professional.
You perseverate on the same point and don't seem to pay attention to anything I wrote. I simply stated several times that IF I have a concern and write for a particular caution, I'd like a call from the PT if he/she disagrees. If you have a problem with that, you've simply got a problem and some deep authority issues.
As said several times, no recommendations I make or other docs make are meant with any malicious intentions, so if you take it that way it's really only your perception.
You are bitter about something and appear to be so pompous that you believe you can never learn from anyone or take recommendations. Let me give you a little shot of reality......you're not the know all, end all expert in everything. Get off your high horse and appreciate that you even get referrals with your attitude.
I've surveyed SDN and apparently every time you post in any thread, it's the same song and dance. Take the advice of some of your peers who are obviously embarrassed by your antics.
And sit back and think........if everyone tells you that you're a drunk, you probably are.
Yes, I attempted some diplomatic responses to you, but you just don't have that capability. You're an angry little man and that will ultimately be your demise.
