I am just inquisitive what does Dr (physiotherapist) mean. My understanding is that Dr stands for doctor. and physiotherapists are not doctors. Please enlighten me. kind regards
Re: Introduce yourself
Salam,
Though I have been a member here for awhile, I don't believe I posted an intro. So, um, hi! I'm 26 and from Australia. And make no mistake, I am female. Quite a few people seem to think I am a bro around here for some reason. I am a born Muslim with a Turkish heritage. Education wise, I have majors in criminology and politics. I also studied law for a couple of years but dropped out. That's about it, I think. The rest is boring.

Re: Introduce yourself
Actually, Astral, I myself somehow intuited that you are female, although I didn't think much about it until now. Perhaps that gives you cause for hope.

Re: Introduce yourself
Salaam Alaikum ,
I am a b-tech (electronics and communication) graduate from india, i was in touch with this forum earlier, may be 5-6 years back and now i am here, i have completed entry and professional level networking certifications and now looking ahead towards the expert level cert of cisco, pray for me ...
Basically i am from a shia family both my father and mother are shia and but i am a muslim (la-shia la-sunni islamia-islamia) this was the famous phrase used by iranians during the islamic revolution, but as soon as i read quran i came to know that all verses which the shia associated with the ahlul-bayts(holy five) were manipulated and there is not a single verse in the quran which favours the ahlul-bayts of shia context (they say the panjetan is the ahlul-bayts and the wives are not which is completely wrong), but i do appreciate the islamic revolution of iran, and iran is the only one who speaks firmly from the palestinian side ...

Yes u r right bro, Shia, sunni, etc. etc. make no sense if you read the Quran and follow the life of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh).

Re: Introduce yourself
In the US, in response to a need for physiotherapists, there is a need for direct access, rather than referal based.
So physical therapists are required now to get their doctorate (DPT) degree. The same thing is happening with Occupational therapists. Though DPTs and OTDs cannot prescribe meds afaik

They are asked to deliver religious verdicts and they deliver them without knowledge, they go astray, and lead others astray.” [Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim]
