Hello doctors,ms4 mom here,i'm pretty puzzled about this and curious to know: why is it that whichever statistics i look up for whatever reason whether it's medscape or meritt hawkins PM&R is NEVER even on the list?Do physiatrists prefer to keep it this way to protect it's secrecy as a hidden fun field with great prospects and the benefit of a good lifestyle it offers?
Also i've heard from some physiatrists of the stigma they endure about not being seen as a "real doctor".Why is this?I think physiatrists play the most important role in physical health care and can do everything non-surgical an orthopedist can do.Why are they often seen as "glorified PTs"?
Pardon my ignorance and lack of awareness.
