I mean the doctors are supposed to refer you to the PTs with a  
statement of diagnosis and their PT recommendations.  The specifics  
are up to the PTs.

So to be so short, but I have to leave for work in 30 minutes --  
have  good day, everyone!

that's interesting - mine have all worked on their own.  in 2 cases I  
got referrals, but the doctors (I ended up switching primary care  
doctors) referred me and let the PTs do their thing.  I can't  
remember if I complained about PT to the first doctor, but I did to  
the second doctor.  His reaction was to tell me that the PTs were the  
experts and that I should complete the course of treatment and then  
they would write him a letter and he would review it with me, and if  
there were problems, he would discuss at that point.  Since I felt it  
wasn't helping, I wasn't willing to keep going back for a month.

I guess technically, they were working with my doctors because the  
doctors were informed, but in reality, they were independent of  
advice/suggestions from my doctors once I was referred.  Is that what  
you mean about that's how it's supposed to work?
