Best Answer

If you mean, is it easier to perform the jobs of a physical therapist or a sports doctor, then the physical therapist will probably exert more muscles in the course of a day's work than a doctor would. Both have to carry liability insurance and the mental anguish associated with the need to have that insurance. It is easier and quicker to go to school to become a physical therapist than it is to become a licensed physician specializing in sports medicine. It is harder physically to be a physical therapist, but it is harder intellectually and educationally to be a physician- because you will have to go one of the MD (medical doctor), DC (chiropractor)or ND (naturopathic doctor)routes.

Is it safe to take 50mg prednizone every 6 hours for 30 hours and thien just quit?

You got your prescription for prednisone from your doctor. You should ask your doctor. You received your prescription for a specific problem. Your doctor may want to taper your medicine down either because it is not safe to suddenly quit the medicine or because that way mild symptoms might return that are easier to take care of rather than full blown symptoms if you suddenly stop the medicine. Without knowing the specifics of the reason why you are taking that large a dosage of prednisone, it is difficult for anyone other than a doctor following your case to advise you.
