purpose of MRI’s and other investigations which can be done
in addition to more standard proceedures (ie – xrays). Many
of my patients have an injury and want to know why the doctor only
ordered xrays when they think they should have an [...]

DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed in this blog belong to me, Joe
Black, and no one else. I do not speak for any group, practice, or
organization. I am a Physical Therapist and an Athletic Trainer,
first and foremost. I also serve several roles in our professional
associations, most notably as President of the Tennessee Chapter of
the American Physical Therapy Association, also known as the
Tennessee Physical Therapy Association. As such, I write this blog
with great concern and caution. It can be difficult to separate my
roles. I would insist that I have a right and, in some respects, an
obligation to voice my opinion. In doing so, I am doing so as an
individual.I’ve never put as much effort and

It has been fun while it lasted but thanks to an invitation from my
physical therapist colleague Dr. Eric Robertson, I will now be
doing my Physical Therapy related blog authoring at
www.npathinktank.com (soon to be ptthinktank.com). We will
also be joined by fellow colleague and blogger Roderick Henderson,
PT for what should be topically varied content relevant to our
profession from various perspectives. I hope you will follow and
join us at this new virtual water cooler as fellow community
members and stakeholders in our future as physical
therapists. I’m looking very forward to
what should be an informative, enlightening and occasionally even
entertaining venture with my fellow bloggers and colleagues.

The world we live in today has come a very long way than it was for

The New York Times reports that federal officials are investigating
whether a dozen drug and device makers "made illegal payments to
doctors and health officials in foreign countries." Although
pharmaceutical companies routinely contract with doctors in the
United States to be consultants, experts say the situation is more
complex overseas because "in much of the rest of the world, doctors
are government employees. And even consulting arrangements that
would be considered routine in the United States might violate the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, particularly if the payments are
outsize or the arrangements are not disclosed to the governments.
