> I think that it would be important for a physician to be licensed, period. With all due respect to Dr. Bob, whom I respect and appreciate for allowing us to have this forum, state boundaries are so arbitrarily defined that I don't think they should preclude someone from getting the help they need. This is quite akin to the phenomena where there are several places in the U.S. where you can literally walk from one state to the next. With the modern day internet, telecommunications, fax machines and other forms of communication, we have the ability to break down those political/geographical walls that exist between peoples so that everyone will have access to the latest standard of care as it applies to all human beings.

I agree, they're arbitrary, and may do more harm than good, but still they determine which laws apply. Even if you're walking. :-)
