A blind man can't own a car dealership and buy cars at an auto auction, can he?

Of course a blind man can own a car dealership. Only a foolish blind man, however, would buy cars at an auction without the assistance of a trusted, sighted partner or employee doing the inspection of the vehicles. The blind car dealer is not equipped to perform all the duties his job requires. Certainly a car dealer would never hire a blind man to attend the auctions, would he? Wolfpiper can certainly own a PT business. But he wouldn't be able to perform all the duties of a PT.</p>
<p>A PT must aid patients learning to regain mobility. That involves full mobility and strength on the part of the PT. Sorry, but a person in a walker can not perform all the physical requirements of the job. The patients will suffer. A PT has to pass the licensing exams, which signify that he can perform ALL the duties of a PT, not just those that don't require lifting, turning, repositioning, and stabilizing patients. If a PT became disabled once he was practicing, he could perform supervisory duties. But a new entrant into the field has to do it all. Why is this so hard to grasp?</p>
