As physiotherapists, we undergo extensive training and study more than any other medical professional. Obviously, we are doctors. While we don't perform surgeries or prescribe medications, we specialize in healing through exercise and therapeutic techniques.

@@Dr.ChenaliPitroda right...so if someone has a myocardial infarction I can trust a physiotherapist to treat him/her by massaging..right?

No , I think 1st line treatment for MI will be medications only .. but the role of physiotherapist is to keep heart healthy by giving them chest physiotherapy..not massage my dear.

@@Dr.ChenaliPitroda right ..so can you administer CPR atleast? A nurse can administer cpr and give iv adrenaline/dopamine..can you? If not then how can you call yourself a doctor?

As physiotherapists, we are trained to perform essential life-saving techniques such as CPR, which underscores our critical role in healthcare. However, the administration of intravenous drugs is the responsibility of nursing staff, highlighting the distinct and complementary skills each professional brings to patient care. Healthcare is inherently a holistic and collaborative field, where every healthcare professional must work together to ensure the best outcomes for patients. Physiotherapists play a tremendous role in this system, contributing significantly to patient recovery and overall health. We should strive to elevate our profession by advocating for the recognition of physiotherapists as doctors, emphasizing our extensive training, expertise, and the high standards we uphold. This recognition not only honors our dedication but also enhances the quality of care we provide, reinforcing our vital position within the healthcare team.
