  3. Strohm v. Hertz Corp.

    685 So. 2d 37 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996)   Cited 7 times
    To the extent that the present legislation treats chiropractors differently than medical doctors, osteopaths, or podiatrists, it is not novel. As the supreme court in Clair noted, the scope of practice of chiropractors is far more specifically delineated by Florida law than the range of practice allowed for the other classes of health care providers. See § 458.305, Fla. Stat. (1993) (medical doctors); § 459.011(2), Fla. Stat. (1993) (osteopathic physicians); § 461.003(3), Fla. Stat. (1993) (practitioners of podiatric medicine); § 460.403, Fla. Stat. (1993) (chiropractors). Chiropractic physicians "are expressly prohibited from prescribing or administering to any person, any legend drug, from performing any surgery (except as specifically authorized), or from practicing obstetrics." § 460.403(3)(c), Fla. Stat. (1995). Although Florida hospitals are required by law to set standards and procedures which provide for reasonable access by licensed chiropractors to x-ray reports and laboratory tests, such hospitals are not required by law to grant staff privileges to a chiropractor. § 395.0195, Fla. Stat. (1995).

    A medical doctor in Florida is authorized to diagnose, treat, operate, or prescribe for any human disease, pain, injury, deformity, or other physical or mental condition (e.s.). § 458.305, Fla. Stat. (1993). Osteopathic physicians have "the same rights as physicians and surgeons of other schools of medicine with respect to the treatment of cases or holding of offices in public institutions." Section 459.011(2), Fla. Stat. (1993). Practitioners of podiatric medicine in Florida may engage in "the diagnosis or medical, surgical, palliative, and mechanical treatment of ailments of the human foot and leg, and may prescribe drugs that relate to this scope of practice."
