How to Tell Your Patient Their MRI is Unneccesary

Thanks to EIM faculty member Dr. Jason R. Rodeghero for this fun, thought-provoking video.

Physical therapists can educate their patients on the potential harm from excessive MRI imaging (and x-ray imaging).

I'm still amazed when I talk to my peers who accept "what the doctor ordered" just because the physician ordered it.

Physical therapy is a doctoring profession because we accept responsibility for our patients.

That includes pointing out to them when we believe unnecessary testing could harm them.
