This page seems off to me. It is hard to describe exactly how but let me relate my experience. I or my family members have been seeing physiatrists on-and-off for 15 years. We have seen 3 physiatrists in that time.
An acquaintance of mine has recently been injured and is afraid that they are going straight to the orthopedic surgeon. So I suggested a physiatrist and the response was "A hoos-a-whats-ist?". I explained what a physiatrist was and went to email my acquaintance a link to this article but felt that, while the article might not be incorrect, it would convince her that she should not see the physiatrist because its outdated and are mere gatekeeper: I'm not a doctor and don't feel qualified to update the page Neil Smithline 12:28, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Neil, Please consult a sub-specialized orthopedic surgeon (many Ortho surgeons are highly subspecialized now, its 2015 !!) and have interdisciplinary practices with the physiotherapists, chiro, occupational etc. You will be much better off, healthwise, and money wise! — Preceding

The entire write up is flawed as it in not written with a current, up to date perspective and taking into consideration the surging healthcare cost, the new breed of sub diciplines in medicine, and the redundant, outdated gatekeeper role of the rehabilitation doctor all over the world. Policy should focus on imp[roving the sub-specialisation of Physiotherapists, Occupational therapists, speech pathologists and even nurses and all, to optimize from the shrinking healthcare budget! What wikipedia needs is uptodate writer, living in the 2013, Wikipedia needs to rope in conscientious, economical-savy, and timely writer, preferably with PhD in line with global progress.
Change "Short-wave diathermy" link to "Diathermy" - Please see the physiotherapists Directly. In developing and underdeveloped countries, the poor consumers are forced by the prevailing traditional and unethical medical model practice, and have to pay taxes to sinful redundant useless GATEKEEPERS before they are allowed to see the physiotherapist.
Change "Electrotherapy unit" link to "Electrotherapy" - please refer to a Physiotherapy web Rubbish outdated page, promoting an outdated discipline with high cost implications, power crazy controlling freaks, and draining healthcare budget !!

Please change therapists to physicians. On of the common complaints among physicians in the field is that we often get confused with physical therapists.
Rehab therapist is the right term--it means trained physiotherapists. Don't be fooled by a bunch of lowly doc doing physiotherapy

It looks far more like a team therapist giving an athlete a quick stretch before going into action. The photo has none of the characteristics of medical treatment in a clinical environment. Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 17:58, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

PM&R is becoming a popular and mainstream field of medicine, especially due to the sheer variety of fellowships available. More information needs to be written about the specialty and its expanding scope. Patients are unsure about what PM&R entails or when to visit a PM&R specialist. The wikipedia photo needs to be updated as well as the physician can be confused as a physical therapist, a common misconception among patients. 2600:4040:2B8B:F00:556B:8A35:59F1:A272 ( talk) 07:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Please change the wikipedia photo for the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation page. The profession is often confused with physical therapists and the photo only perpetuates this misconception among patients. Please reference a photo that has a more clinical environment or is a depiction of the specialty, similar to the cardiology wikipedia page. Thanks for your consideration. 2600:4040:2B8B:F00:556B:8A35:59F1:A272 ( talk) 07:28, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
The profession is often confused with physical therapists and the photo only perpetuates this misconception among patients.So you're saying the person in the photo is not a doctor? Or there is something that is occurring in the photo which a doctor would not do? I'm not sure where your confusion is coming from with that photograph. You want to replace it with an illustrated icon, but no concrete reasons have been provided for why the photo is inappropriate. Spintendo 18:59, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Please consider the following image change to this article as a better replacement than the one above. This picture depicts a treatment procedure known as corticosteroid sacroiliac joint injection, which can be performed by PM&R physicians as a form of pain management. It can be performed for sacroiliitis, a common cause of lower back pain. This procedure better reflects the specialty and delineates it from patient misconception of PM&R physicians and physical therapists. 2600:1700:2F47:1560:F456:7A2D:2567:18D5 ( talk) 22:54, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
