Why? It doesn't seem any different to me than surgery + physical therapy for a non-brain-oriented medical problem.
- caturopath 6y agoRight, and a surgeon doesn't serve as your physical therapist just like the psychiatrist doesn't serve as your talk therapist. They're different roles, even though they're both addressing the same part of your health.
- mapt 6y agoUnder the US system, the surgeon has to press the patient to learn what operation they're going to perform, because the physical therapist / primary care doc / specialist doc isn't paid to communicate with the surgeon, but they're willing to guess the operation if the patient doesn't take great notes.
