This article, the last of four based on the diary of Dr. Frank H. Krusen, picks up the story of physiatry's conflict with other medical specialty groups within the American Medical Association. The conflict was focused on PM&R's use of the term "rehabilitation," but the underlying motive of groups opposing physical medicine was to limit the scope of physiatric practice. Dr. Krusen organized a well-documented and successful defense of the specialty and opened the door to the development of comprehensive care of persons with disabilities. Also related here are Dr. Krusen's legislative and public relations contributions to PM&R from 1963 until his retirement from Tufts-New England Medical Center in 1969. Dr. Krusen retired to Cape Cod and died there in 1973.
本文是基于弗兰克·H·克鲁森博士日记撰写的系列文章中的最后一篇，讲述了物理医学与康复学（以下简称“PM&R”）在美国医学协会内部与其他医学专业团体的冲突。冲突焦点在于PM&R对“康复”一词的使用，但反对物理医学的团体的潜在动机是限制物理医学与康复学的执业范围。克鲁森博士组织了一次有充分文献记录且成功的专业辩护，为残疾人综合护理的发展打开了大门。这里还讲述了克鲁森博士在1963年至1969年从塔夫茨新英格兰医疗中心退休期间，对PM&R在立法和公共关系方面所做的贡献。克鲁森博士退休后前往科德角，并于1973年在那里去世。
