RE: Anyone Else Have a Problem with This?: N.M. bill to permit chiropractors to practice medicine

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??!!!

How strong is the new Mexico Chapter?

It is odd that the chiros would start here. Maybe this has come up in other

states, but I have not heard of it.

Anyone Else Have a Problem with This?: N.M. bill to

permit chiropractors to practice medicine

Anyone else has any insight to this:

From Chiroeco.com

February 7, 2011 - Bill HB127, introduced Jan 20, 2011, has been proposed in

the state of New Mexico.

If passed, this bill will authorize " certified advanced practice

chiropractic physician to prescribe and administer any dangerous drug or

controlled substances subject to approval by the chiropractic board and

within the physician's clinical specialty. "

Additionally, " the existing statutory prohibition against chiropractors

performing invasive procedures, operative surgery, and prescription or use

of controlled or dangerous drugs is eliminated. "

Wow, what CAN'T chiropractors do?  They truly are experts at everything. 

Backs, rehab, acupuncture, massage, orthotics, wellness, nutrition - now

medicine.  Look out car mechanics, lawyers, accountants, and barbers - the

chiros are coming for you too! 

 

Someone in NM please tell me that physicians are laughing them out of

legislative meetings??

Unfortunately, never underestimate the chiros. We as PTs did it in Calif and are

still living thru the workers comp nightmare of max 24 visits for total PT care

for a patient. 24 visits are a plenty for a minor sprain/strain, however, with

complexities of surgeries it gets very difficult.

Response from New Mexico Legislative Chair on Chiro Bill:

Just wanted to let you know that our lobbyist has been monitoring the chiro bill

that would allow them prescriptive authority since it hit the legislature. She

is not giving it much hope, as they will probably get incredible opposition from

the AMA on this one. Also, this would be a significant change in their practice

act, and we don’t know if they have much research to back it up. We are not

planning an outright opposition just yet, but will do so if needed (i.e. it gets

farther without being killed).

I can see chiro wanting to prescribe since they love to prescribe OTC vitamins,

etc… but I must say I’m shocked at their departure from “naturalâ€

curative and their past clear stance of difference from “medical†doctors.

I wonder if this will be a nationwide trend or just the “going rogue†NM

chapter.

Dear Colleagues:

Either I am missing the point on this “conversation†or are some of you.

Just in which way would chiropractors succeeding in practicing medicine affect

our “physical therapist world�

Remember the D.O.’s? Sounds familiar? Prior to being “medicalizedâ€,

D.O.s had just a whacky principles as todays Chiros. Does the “law of the

nerve†sound familiar?

They left all manual therapy up for grabs and we took it (minus the whacky

principles)...and they not only left us alone to do it, they like us to do it

and refer to us, and not to the chiros.

Once chiros go that way, they don’t go back...not that I think they should or

they they would even succeed any time soon...I just plain don’t care. Really.

Are you afraid of “taking orders†from a chiropractor too? Well. You

shouldn’t be taking orders from anybody (at all) as it is! From NOBODY.

This came across my desk: 1. We must stop " Getting By " , 2. We must stop being

" Medical Wannabes " , 3. We must stop making stupid " recommendations of care " , 4.

We must stop " Stupid billing and coding tricks " , 5. We must stop " promoting

everything " (not backed by evidence) [i adapted this number 5 not to give it

away], 6. We must stop being the " illegal immigrants of healthcare " , 7. We must

stop " eating our young " . ____ Sounds familiar?

It was written by a Chiro in a Chiro magazine.

One more point I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE. Particularly to the N.M.P.T.A: The

AMA will devote a lot of resource to ensure Chiros never gain ground on bills

like that. As far as I can remember, PTs do not have UNRESTRICTED direct access

anywhere in the US (just remember our Medicare requirements, before you tell me

about our rights and forget to quantify that some places we have the right to

perform evals but not to treat, or to treat for 21 days only, or the need to

write plans of care and STG & LTG and so on and on). What better time to devote

dollars to “detach†physical therapists from physicians and medicine and

really fix our Statutes?

Just some food for thought.

Just wanted to let you know that our lobbyist has been monitoring the chiro bill

that would allow them prescriptive authority since it hit the legislature. She

is not giving it much hope, as they will probably get incredible opposition from

the AMA on this one. Also, this would be a significant change in their practice

act, and we don’t know if they have much research to back it up. We are not

Dear Colleagues:

Either I am missing the point on this “conversation†or are some of you.

Just in which way would chiropractors succeeding in practicing medicine affect

our “physical therapist world�

Remember the D.O.’s? Sounds familiar? Prior to being “medicalizedâ€,

D.O.s had just a whacky principles as todays Chiros. Does the “law of the

nerve†sound familiar?

They left all manual therapy up for grabs and we took it (minus the whacky

principles)...and they not only left us alone to do it, they like us to do it

and refer to us, and not to the chiros.

Once chiros go that way, they don’t go back...not that I think they should or

they they would even succeed any time soon...I just plain don’t care. Really.

Are you afraid of “taking orders†from a chiropractor too? Well. You

shouldn’t be taking orders from anybody (at all) as it is! From NOBODY.

This came across my desk: 1. We must stop " Getting By " , 2. We must stop being

" Medical Wannabes " , 3. We must stop making stupid " recommendations of care " , 4.

We must stop " Stupid billing and coding tricks " , 5. We must stop " promoting

everything " (not backed by evidence) [i adapted this number 5 not to give it

away], 6. We must stop being the " illegal immigrants of healthcare " , 7. We must

stop " eating our young " . ____ Sounds familiar?

It was written by a Chiro in a Chiro magazine.

One more point I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE. Particularly to the N.M.P.T.A: The

AMA will devote a lot of resource to ensure Chiros never gain ground on bills

like that. As far as I can remember, PTs do not have UNRESTRICTED direct access

anywhere in the US (just remember our Medicare requirements, before you tell me

about our rights and forget to quantify that some places we have the right to

perform evals but not to treat, or to treat for 21 days only, or the need to

write plans of care and STG & LTG and so on and on). What better time to devote

dollars to “detach†physical therapists from physicians and medicine and

really fix our Statutes?

Just some food for thought.

I can see chiro wanting to prescribe since they love to prescribe OTC vitamins,

etc… but I must say I’m shocked at their departure from “naturalâ€

curative and their past clear stance of difference from “medical†doctors. I

wonder if this will be a nationwide trend or just the “going rogue†NM
