To be frank the title Doctor was initially meant for PhD holders before MBBS smuggled the title, they were called Physicians. By the way let's check the dictionary meaning of a Doctor aside the PhD holders. A doctor is someone who treats patients. Who is a physiotherapist? He is a licensed professional qualified to treat patients through physical methods like electrotherapy, manipulative therapy, exercise therapy etc. The difference between the physician and the physiotherapist is treatment with drugs. To further validate my claim check the WHO definition of all the medical fields. As a matter of fact if u are not a Doctor of physiotherapy u cant touch patients in the developed world. We Nigerians are just enemy of progress, we have some of them in this group. DPT is a welcome development and has come to stay in Nigeria.
