What the duck is in the moniker?

 For 50 years, we are doing what we are told, after 30 years upgraded education we still do what we are told, 25 years of masters - we still do what we are told. Most of the places the only work which the Therapist do can be done by a trained monkey- on and off the switch- so i think we can all keep calm and just shut our mouth until we grow spine. I am talking primarily about the therapist who work in GH. 

Why this- well some one wrote doctor and they were told they were therapist and we all got our panties in a bunch. We have not got autonomous practice but we think we are part of health care? sadly no- we are still trained monkeys. Sadly after 25 years of graduation- we including me are trained monkeys. Nothing has changed for the PTs responsibilities and  having propriety over our treatment and patients. 

Of course some clinicians have autonomous practice- sadly it is still not got critical mass- and i blame the GH therapist. Why - well job security, and also you have a mouth but never opened it for any rights other than - where is my pay slip. Why cant other be blamed- well if can be sacked the next day - what will they do? 

So the next time fight for autonomy - not some nomenclature or moniker- what are still 19 years old and unhappy when someone called you kid? The amount of poor education about the society and medicine is rampant in PT. As a first step the "leaders" of the associations should just get a chill pill and get a reeducation on what the hell we need. This is not a new issue- from the time i went to college, until today we have some extremely stupid objectives. We waste our money, we clap our hands when people say PT are important (the self confidence just does not grow), cant ask where is our money to some idiots in the CEC or some old useless therapist and want to call ourselves "doctor". Why? from the next day- we will all become autonomous? next day the switch operators will become health care workers? 

This education mafia uses the nomenclature to get some poor parent and student to make them in a college were the prof, will ask how much is education. We are a microcosm of the society we live in. Every day some one is offended. But we are not offended- our patients hardly get "physiotherapy" but some silly "current" or the society, which hardly get offended by the people living on streets but by imaginary friends (i meant the god- from all the useless religions). 

Fight for things which changes our life- not just moniker . What will happen if someone calls me royal highness Hariohm or better "still all knowing guru "- i will still be the same arrogant SOB. 

I know i most of the therapist in GH are hard working and are helpless- hahah no i was kidding if we have no posting in GH none of the patients will miss because what you give is not PT. I know you will say- thats what we are prescribed- well I could have had some sympathy if you had fought for it once in your life time- so no..

PS- i know many of classmates are in GH- haha- well thats the way it is nothing personal. I also know some places where the therapist do good work- well sadly you need Hubble telescope to find them- I am sorry i had to include you also. 

I know you will be angry after reading it- well please write to hariohm@idontgiveaduck.com    

Love
