People! Do you think your internist or pediatrician knows everything? (try stuttering as a first example, but much more death-defying conditions after thinking on that). A field grows and then specializes because no one can know everything. I am the first to want my field to be better educated, and to spend more time keeping up with advances in the field after receiving their credentials (studies of our field put us right there in the middle of other medical and paramedical fields - in that no one seems to keep up with the literature; have fun on your next annual checkup with your dr). To think that everyone in our field should be best qualified to treat stuttering is a delusion - we don't think so for diabetes, for cancer, or for heart disease - we go to specialists. Give the ragging a break. Nan
