I know who W is; W is and has been a strong and knowledgeable
contributor to this list, every since my some 16 or 17 yrs. here on the list.
Whether W is a quad, advocate, knows someone in a chair or whatever. W has been
a great help; and is a person that has shared a wealth of information to our
community.
Thanks W!

Hiya Todd and All,
Yes, you are correct and make the strongest point, "under the
direction of a doctor."
The TEAM Concept is also just as important.
Both OT, RT and PT attend the basic training school and then
separate and go on to their
finishing schools to become their specialities. I've also never
met a dummy either and the women
tend to be fertile (just kidding)
Best Wishes

Good Day W !
I just wanted to stress here that no matter the difference
between the jobs of PTs and OTs and the functions they perform, everything they
do are typically under the direction of a doctor and all 3 of them (plus YOU)
should ultimately be acting as a TEAM.
Sometimes a doc's orders are as simple as "strength and function
training as appropriate." It's up to you, the OT and PT to work out what
"appropriate" really means. Other times a doc's orders are very specific based
on provblems a patient or PT/OT discusses with him/her... i.e., "Stretch R arm
and shoulder, increase ROM to assist patient's independence in dental and
facial hygeine."
And then it's still a team effort. Most of us know this... but
for those who don't, this is what you should expect... or even insist upon.
Best wishes,
--Tod
