I worked with a MD that had only 2 weekend courses versus my 4 year program. She was very unsure where to place the needles on her patients. She was constantly asking for my help on where to place the needles. After I started treating her patients they didn’t want her to treat them again. They said the treatments were painful without any positive results. She didn’t have a clue regarding Traditional Chinese Medicine theory. We need to stay in our scope of practice. How would PTs feel about us if we started competing to treat their patients with our limited knowledge of PT? I refer my patients to PT not discouraged them or convincing them I could treat them instead.
