PM&R doctors

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. This is the type of doctor I had in the hospital.  Also called physiatrist.
My comments on mine;
My PMR doctor for stroke  had obviously never opened a research paper since school. He wrote 3 prescriptions, for OT, PT, ST all for ET(Evaluate and Treat). From talking to my therapists none had ever seen my MRI or received any directions from this doctor.  Its why I now firmly believe in Pay for performance. I had my OT running interference to get botox instead of him. He pooh-poohed the article I brought him on Saeboflex.

FAQs about PM&R

Toni Patt talking about this in her blog posting;

What's the Purpose of a PM & R Doctor?

 For what my doctor did he should have never been paid for anything.
