Far, far outweighed by all the folks you guys fuck up with surgery and meds.
Going over my posts, I think i may have been a bit too harsh on your profession. I think conservative therapy is quite effective for ACUTE problems. However, chronic manipulations is plain "quackery." I would also like to admit that yes MDs make may mistakes. However, it is just stupidity to state that MDs make much more mistakes than chiropracters. You can look at the NFL, NBA, NHL, and all competitive NCAA programs. All of their sport medicine doctors are real doctors (usuallly orthopods), not one chiropracter. Although chiropracters work with these teams, they work UNDER the guidance of MDs. The problem with chiropracters is that you guys manipulate and mislead the general public. Your profession is not based on science, as defined by evidence based medicine. There is nothing wrong with SOME techniques of your profession, but the MAJORITY of your profession is just plain BULLSHIT. You know it and I know it. You can peddle your bullshit as much as you want, but at the end of the day you have to ask yourself if making money of other people's misery is worth the money. Money will come and go but your legacy of bullshit will smell forever. The only purpose of this thread to make aware to the general public that may be mislead by your crap. Clearly your defensive posts by you and your colleagues reiterates your insecurity and guilt of your profession. To others, do you really want to place your Central Nervous System on an individual that believes scientific research is "jazz."
