Hi everybody.For me the subject matter is more complex than what some of us are saying.Gcoe has once again delivered the reality on the ground as far as this game is concern.Many physio that have contributed only wrote what their society has made them to believe and not what they want for the profession.
Nations across the globe believe Doctor title is for those individuals and profession that has acquired enormous body of knowledge,and deserve honor and repect.
Healthcare delivery in modern world supposed and it is interdisplinary in nature for consistency and effeciency but professionals that go by 'doctor' title tend to steal in the eye of the public the collective reward and incentives.The public still think and have unwritten impression that doctor of any 'cheat' in healthcare chain are more knowledgeable,more informed about their condition even if the doctor know next to nothing about the condition.
I believe physio has come of age and contries training docrorate in physio are free to go by the title.This is the way the profession is going. There are variation in Peoples attitude and values across the globe.What make sme sense in europe might be unthinkable in africa or other part of the world.So physio face diverse chalenges across nations of the world and individual physio bodies handle those problems the way they deem best.yelufem
