I'm on outpt medicine right now and after seeing some clinic pts today it got me thinking about when to suggest referral to PM&R. When I get asked the magic question "what do you want to do", should I suggest PT, or physiatry first? Should PT be first line and refer to physiatry if its refractory? Should only more complicated situations go to physiatry?
I figure this would be a good question to ask now as a way to help plant some seeds, and for later obviously when (hopefully) I'm in practice to educate PCP's on how to refer properly. I thank you all for your responses ahead of time.
