Tony,
I do appreciate your points and they are well taken. There is little doubt
that podiatry must publish many more quality studies which pass the rigors of
the scientific method. That said, thought stimulation, via whatever means
does answer step one on your list. Having published one prospective study
and having a second prospective manipulation paper scheduled for next month
in JAMPA, I understand the hard work which follows the "fun" stimulation.
More pods with your determination and scientific disapline are certainly in
order, but discussion group stimulation should not be left by the wayside.
Regards,
Howard Dananberg
