I just can't remember. I might be in the same boat as you though, and have to go in and see why I'm getting plumes of smoke and low coolant warnings on cold starts. I'm thinking head gasket, but there's no coolant in the oil and I'm not overheating. Can't wait to find out.

There was a bolt way up high along the exhaust pipe connecting it to the engine that I didn't have the tools to reach and loosen at any angle. Quite frustrating. IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER: I'd leave the exhaust connected and disconnect it before the catalytic converter so that all you have is a skinny pipe. Pull the engine out with that connected, take it off when the whole thing is out.

I can assure you that there is truth in what Allan wrote. I am also (in your words), "old,and the rest like [him], will be out of the profession and dead before I can even afford to retire." Which, on the flip side, means that I am old enough to have watched degree programs change over 20 years and see that there has not been enough benefit of those changes to justify the thousands of dollars of debt that you referred to.<br />I would think that as a new grad, who is experiencing these issues firsthand (crushing debt, salary not commensurate with debt repayment, inability to treat patients without a physician referral) that you would actually agree with Allan's post!<br />This isn't about old PT's vs. new grad DPT's. This is about how little has changed in proportion to all the changes that were promised as a result of moving toward a DPT. This is about how much work remains to allow PT's as a whole profession to treat patients as we are qualified and prepared to based on our education- regardless of degree.Ann Wendelhttp://prana-pt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677946039286171167.post-21509874760943608272012-07-26T01:55:18.596-06:002012-07-26T01:55:18.596-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677946039286171167.post-44796746634223087662012-07-26T01:10:18.172-06:002012-07-26T01:10:18.172-06:00Denver -

Well, at least all of them until you got to the "old guy" part. :-)<br /><br />Apparently this post struck a nerve with you. I thought a few comments might help clarify a few things.<br /><br />I have watched the evolution of the PT profession in the US since moving here in 1990 from Canada. I remember when the transition to the Masters degree took place - back in my "not-quite-so-old" days! I can also speak to the vast differences in perception of the profession globally.<br /><br />I am one of those people that wants to "move forward". My first (of 25 or so) posts on consumer direct access was in 2007. I spoke at a public hearing for the most recent legislative effort in TX in 2011. With that said, I suspect we are on the same page.<br /><br />Here's the problem: if we don't challenge ourselves to find better solutions to "move forward", someone else will do it for us. That might involve some difficult and oftentimes emotional discussion.<br /><br />In all honesty, the post wasn't intended as a "pissing contest" - far from it actually. Part of the title that you omitted was "10 Points To Ponder". The question is, did the evolution towards the clinical doctorate as the entry level of practice accomplish what it was supposed to accomplish?<br /><br />Is that not a fair question of accountability? If you are told that x, y, and z will happen - and they don't - would you keep doing x, y, and z anyway? Or would you, in your words, "work together to move forward"?<br /><br />The conclusion of the post is actually positive: "We can build a profession that has the basic tenets of consumer direct access as its foundation – regardless of entry-level degree – much like the rest of the world". <br /><br />I think we would agree that that is what we all want. But I would suggest that it is imperative that we learn from our collective experiences (and be prepared for the challenges that will surely follow) in order for that to happen.<br /><br />Your thoughts?Allan Besselink, PT, Dip.MDThttp://www.allanbesselink.comnoreply@blogger.com
