Hi Mark,
I was wondering if you might direct me to the research article you referred
to in your last message
"3. Podiatric surgeons are a proven (see Paul Bennets research) alternative
provider of surgical services in Australia. All patients should have the
right to seek opinions from podiatric surgeons the final decision as to who
performs surgery should be the patients after broad consultation."
In my humble opinion I have to agree with you that it is ultimately up to
the patient as to the choice of treatment and which practitioner.
Regards
Richard Nankervis
P.S. Would a podiatrist be under similar ACCC scrutiny if they only referred
to a surgical podiatrist?
