If PT is allowed to cross their professional boundary to do dry needle (acupuncture), should they be allowed to use syringe needle for injection or actually give people injection? Once a boundary is allowed crossed, why not more boundaries be allowed crossed?
I am all for patients suffering being alleviated timely and many techniques/interventions can help alleviate suffering, it is how to do it professionally and in a sustainable way that matters to the public in the end. PT and acupuncturists are also part of the public. We have a common interest as a member of a larger society.
