Yes. As a matter of fact, I had a SLP speak to our PT students and her first comment was that most MDs think of PT whenever any rehab is needed (including speech).
I like the "you need to be a PT first in order to be an OT"! Now, Ron, I know you know another PT who is a great advocate for OT also, right! David A.

Merritt Blvd. Nashville, TN 37209 615-963-5946 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Ron Carson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 2:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [OTlist] Another Sad But True Experience Today, I met with a PT who seems to be a great advocate for the occupational perspective that I have. He is foreign trained and says that what I am talking about is what he was used to in Europe (sorry, I don't remember which country). The PT's name is Jerone. Jerone, was introducing me to doctors at his office. After the first doctor looks at my brochure and business card, she asks me 'so, you're a PT'. I say, 'no, I'm and OT'. She say's "Is there a difference?" Then she say's "oh, that's right, you have to be a PT in order to be an OT." About this time, Jerone jumped in an offered an explanation for the differences between the two professions. Can you believe that doctors actually think that OT and PT are the same!
