PTRussel and Co.I can see u are not getting the picture on the wall. I wouldn't want us to muddle things together.I know and sure that no civilised physio body says physio is equal to Medical Doctor as u are putting it. As Dentist is not = to medical doctor so also do physio.They are two different body of knowledge.So they both bear unique approach at treating disease conditions.
Medicine decide to confer the Dr title on individual that got the first degree MBBS.This does not make them equal to a PhD holder but they both carry the title 'Dr' and nobody confuse MBBS for PhD.
Doctorate in physio or other health professionals should not result into any brohaha as we have these days.They earn the degree and so deserve to go by the title if so wish.Nobody is taking position of medical doctor here.
This is the next direction fot this profession and no amount of intimidation can stop it.yelufem.
