Physiotherapists are not doctors: MCI

Yes, of course physiotherapists are not doctors but one of the paramedics work with doctors. This kind of warning from medical bodies required in countries like india where one can purchase whatever they want including affix of "Dr", this is what physiotherapists have done, they have purchased indian politicians for lobby and law makers are breaking the same laws which they have made in parliment. Only god has to save this country.

We gonna to hv separate independent council...
SO how MCI can comment over it... n how they decide whether they can put doctor or not....

im a physiotherapist doing masters in neurology pt in UK. Im not mad to come long back to do masters that too being in a middle class family.Not only me, many pt's are here struggling day & night though we dont have much pay (even as equal to wardboys) in india. With these known struggles, We dedicated our life to our profession and patients depending on our own hands on skills, not with usual scribling medical precriptions or stylish stethoscope...We are true doctors,ask 100000000 of patients who recovered from stroke and spinal injuries. They will say who are god to their life....article which published wrong news by words cannot overtake our hardwork and pain .we deserve for title (Dr).

i am a student of physiotherapy from jammu university .the statement of mci is totally wrong . so i appreciate the statements of nidhi tiwari and other physiotherapists

Better you improve your knowledge, all radiologists and anesthesiologists are physicians all across the world,If you guys are so knowledgeble why cann't you study MBBS and practice medicine?, i think physiotherapists in India are in foolish world, they did not get admission for MBBS after 12th, so now wants to overcome that inferiority complexity by affixing Dr .

We are proud of ourselves as Physios and we have given complex to other Medical professionals as we have the power to heal without using drugs and surgeries.Please have the gutts to accept new things ,our's is a new science which is upcomming.We can assess, diagnose and give treatment therefore we have full rigth of being called a Doctor.

Why do you feel that all physios tried for MBBS it may not be true at all....
We have taken this profession by choice...
As far as radiologists and Anesthesiologists are concerned they have Done MBBS but they are not practicing as primary physicians .....it is all about practice you have a problem is it not my dear ....and it looks like that u have a complex that u are the only one who cleared any entrance exam....
Well intially the MBBS was a 6 month coure and by the growth in the field of knowledge they have devided various specializations and increased the duration also ...
Physiotherapy field has got a significant amount of knowledge expansion that is why we had a rapis expansion in this field..... and the need is also there due to the changing clinical profile of the patients of twenty first century... pharmacology and surgery can not give long lasting cure ...
You, Me and the society at large needs our(PHYSIOTHERAPY) services so why you do not want to acknowledge that??????????

Doctor (title), a title of respect. It comes to English from Old French and is the agent form of the Latin verb docere, "to teach". It is not about having MBBS only.

hello, I m a physiotherapist from delhi..

i think Mr. sarvan is out of his senses....he is nobody to put a comment on physio ike this....
MCI is the body for MBBS and not for physio and thus legally it can be panalised for puttng a comment on physios.....

For his very kind information, v people didnt chose this physiotherapy profesion coz v didnt get in to MBBS , but v chose this field by ou wish and our first choice.....

Those MBBS or MDs who are in false myth of having gone through rich syllabus, need to have a look on the curriculum of physiotherapists...we physios study all the sylaabus which is the p;art of mbbs...
MBBS people always try to get some logicalor illogical reason attempting to defame physios as now they have realised tht their work field has become narrowd after the growth of physiotherapy in india....
defntly physios and MBBS people have different sphere of working.. a [physio cant perform surgeries and similarly a mbbs cant do wht a physio has to do to rehabilitate the person,....... both have to deal with humans but in different fashion....

Ask those millions of geriatric,traumatic or postoperative patients for whom the MBBs or MDs treatment get limited to only antiinflammatory or analgesics for rest of the patient's life..... here medicines not only affect patient's vital organs rather also gives unnatural form of t/t or I shud say just they give another mode to befool the patients ..everyoine knows that these drugs are not gonna cure him/her.......if here in such case physios help those patients to make their life easy and painfree in a natural fasion by enhanceing the flexibility and strength of their joints or improve their functional status..then why do mbbs fellows feel it like a risk on their bread and butter???? while they have much more work to be done in store.....

In india the issue is of trouble because physio dont have Council.bt it dsnt mean that MCI or MBBS people got a right to write any baseless comment on PHysiotherapy...

Can a surgeon even think of curing their operative cases (Musculoskeletal, neurological or intensive care unit) succesfully without any physiotherapy prescription???? can a surgeon go on field and improve the fitness of an athlete or sport person , if he has not sustained any severe injujry????

Will a mbbs or MD fellows cure each and every patient with their favorite analgesics,NSAIDS even after knwing that thee are no mere better than placebo and moreover could cause more harm to patient by causing severe complications to kidneys or liver?????

Can a surgeon cure every OA, RA or simple strain/Sprain patient with operative maneuveres???

Wake up MBBS people(so called doctors), india is already running short of good doctors and good paramedical professionals.in such case rather than focussing on trying to defame physiotherapy peeople it will be very useful if u try to improve ur knowlede and spend ur time towards patient care... If any physiotherapist is going against law(law made by constitution or physiotherapy council....not by MCI) then he will defntly be penalised for that if it puts patients at harm by violation of PATIENT ETHICAL CARE rules....

Come on yaar.... rather than fighting among ourselves v need to focus on our common objective of patient care and rehabilitation.... Both of us (mbbs and physios) hve exclusive set of duties... a physio cant do what a surgeon has to do and a surgeon cant do what a physio can do to bring the patient's life back on track.....

i hve worked with many orthopaedicians and many surgeons and what i realised is that..good orthos and good surgeons dnt believe in this fight against physios...they believe in team work and consider physios as an important part of the team...only newcomers (evn small fraction of those population) feel insecure and bring about the false allegations agains physios.....these newcomers need to learn the concept of team work from their sucessful seniors.....perhaps than they will deserve what they want to be called as Dr.

Dear Sarvan,BDS guys are also doctors.Can a BDS doctor treat a patient with Any kind of musculo-skeletal injuries.They are specialised in tooth.Sarvan even u call youself a doctor can you do a root canal treatment.Dear sir can u rehabilitate a stroke patient,Each doctors have thier specialities.So learn to respect the profession.

This is what a physiotherapist can do in india !
