What’s Your Scope?:Don’t Interfere w/ or Contradict a Physician’s Recommendations or Prescriptions, and Don’t Support a Client (Patient) Who Wishes to Do So

I have had patients try to get me to badmouth doctors, or other physical therapists.  NOT GOOD.  Good medicine and effective therapy  is self evident.  So even if I might have inclinations towards different folks, or prescriptions, not only is it my job to point to them, but it is good practice to be silent on such dilemmas, and address the issues if they are significant with said therapist, or Doctor, if at all possible.  After all, the liability for such Prescriptions should lie where it falls.
