As a physiotherapist I found that statement really hurtful. Every profession has their own dignity. At times like this you guys chose to degrade us. I have all my respect to the compounders they do really work hard. But it takes us time to be called a Physio. We work hard for that. Not to hear a comment like this. Every profession has its own value. The writer should have thought this through and checked their own knowledge before commenting on a profession they don't know anything about. The time taken for a physiotherapist to be called Doctor of physiotherapy is 4.5 year. You cannot destroy that in a single statement. And yes we do not need your certification or assurance that we are doctors. You guys merely have studied I guess. Go through the syllabus of a physiotherapist you will get to know that till 3rd year almost all the subjects are same as of MBBS. I really wanted to give rating in minus.
