Don't cheat
 

Physical Therapists, continue mastering your skills at physical therapy. Acupuncturists, continue mastering your skills at acupuncture. Don't cheat and lie to your patients by treating them with modalities you know very little of. There is someone else for the job, and they should be the person you delegate to when the job requires their skill set. Patient benefits, patient trusts you for providing them the best you have to offer (which includes referring to a specialist), physical therapists and acupuncturists establish a working relationship, and we live happily amongst each other. Be great in what you do.
