Hi all Just to let you know that I sympathise from across the pond! The last time that an OT was portrayed on British TV it was on one of our most popular soap operas - Coronation Street. In this case the OT started out as a physio and morphed into a community OT. He appeared to do nothing that vaguely resembled OT, with his moment of glory being when he ran off with his patient's wife! On a serious note though, it is rather demoralising when your profession is misrepresented and nobody seems to understand what you do. I'm sure the only way forward is to grasp every opportunity to educate others about our role. I thought Carolyn Baum's letter to NBC was excellent and look forward to seeing the reply! all good wishes Claire

I find it difficult to express exactly how I feel about the manner in which OT has been portraid and need time to digest it... (these people obviously had very little insight into OT as a profession and need a thorough education!). Thought the letter written by AOTA made a good start though!!!
