Kevin,

**I did not say that I despised electrotherapy as a student because it was
boring (you were the one that implied that). I despised it because the
tutors did not give us any reasoning on what it is used for. We HAD to use
it (FULL STOP). Therefore, it is I who struggles to understand your
conclusions based on my comments. When I started practicing, I saw the
benefits of electrotherapy and am still learning about it. If you still fail
to understand, come to Uni of Queensland and go through the physiotherapy
course that I went through - only then will you really understand what I
went through.

**As with the things that you already know... I am glad you already know
because I don't! Also, whenever I find something, I like to share it around
and get other people's opinion on things. I don't believe this is bad... it
is just all part of the learning process. I don't feel physio's should be
insecure with other therapists, and I did not say because chiro's are using
electro that it strengthened the argument - this is not what I meant (once
again, it seems to me as though you know what I am thinking?!)
It seems to me that whenever somebody writes something, people leap to
conclusions. As I stated earlier, I came here to learn and not to argue with
people over what they do or believe. I don't want to waste my time
clarifying over little matters such as these, because it is not important
and not getting us anyway.
