danimals….
the PT profession has greatly changed since you crawled out from under that rock. It’s currently a DPT….the D stands for DOCTORATE. So, new grads need a BS degree, usually one in the sciences, so they’ve taken all those undergrad classes you’ve rattled off. And then….a little known secret, it’s harder to get into PT school, especially at the U, maybe 200 applicants for 50 spots. 1/4 in for all you math whizzes. Then (at the U) you get to take a few classes with the genius med school students, who we usually score higher than in the muscle/bone sections of the class. Most MDs don’t have any clue what a PT can do, as do most layman (proven true by you). I’m not saying that we know more about surgical management…but we know a lot more about conservative management including exercises. Give PT a chance, we may change your mind. PS, we also have a thorough education on noon-musculoskeletal problems and know when to refer back to the godly MD when necessary.

RYEMAN:
Sorry Ryeman, I’m with Danimals on this one. I’m not going to consult a physical therapist for medical advise. If my Doctor recommends one, that’s different. I would ask Medschoolmatt for his opinion, but he seems to be having trouble figuring out where the kidneys are or something, I don’t know(LOL), so I better wait about 10 years (and a half million dollars) ’til he graduates.

Anybody see the article about MLB investigating what could be 42 cases of players from the Dominican lying about their ages?

I’m glad this is finally happening, I can’t imagine teams are too happy when they find out the guy that just signed that multi-year deal is 2-3 years older than they originally claimed.

Also of note, Henry Blanco with a homer and key defensive play to help Venezuela beat the US. Forget Pudge…THAT’S who we should be getting!

msm,

the back is the preferential entry site for ureteropelvic junction obstruction laparoscopic surgery where the abdomen is the preferential entry site for ureterovesical junction obstruction laparoscopic surgery. He had the latter apparently, since La Velle mentioned that they came in through the “stomach”
