I actually do know what I'm talking about. Your post refutes nothing that I said. A couple of ancedotal stories about you purportedly finding something in an x-ray is pretty meaningless when one looks at the chiropractic MLM business as a whole.
Back in the day, when I worked in the state legislature the chiropractors had at least a 1/2 dozen pieces of legislation every session that they were always pushing to expand the scope of their practice. Whether it was being allowed to prescribe medication, read MRIs, being allowed to refer to themselves as "Doctor," etc., there was always something they were lobbying for. And they were usually supported by the plaintiff's personal injury bar, which refers most of its fradulent accident cases to chiropractors to give the cases some element of legitimacy in the eyes of the gullible public. Fortunately, most courts severly limit what a chiropractor can testify to given the acknowledged lack of real medical education or training.
Admittedly, chiropractors don't have the lobby that the real health care industry has, but who does. Health care is big business and big business runs the world.
And please, don't compare chiropractic to veterinary medicine. Veterinarians are legitimate health care professionals with real medical training. The entry standards to get into veterinary school and the accrediting procedures for getting into the profession are comparable to human medicine. If I passed out at the gym due to AAS-induced high blood pressure I'd much rather have a veterinarian have a look at me than "Dr. Chiro."
why can I not use an anecdotal story relating to me making a point when ur argument is full of anecdotal stories?
I whole heartedly agree with u and I am begginig to understand where ur anger is coming from be because it sounds like u n I actually r on the same side and if u read my posts is what I said about about pissng other professions off and steeping on toes. I take back what I said about not hearing about chiros pretending to be mds. Not that the group that was pushing to be able to prescribe certain classes of meds were claiming to be mds but there once again was a recent push for chiros to be able to prescribe certain classes of drugs.
I don't agree with it. Its dumb. If chiros would stick to what we are suppose to be doing chiros would be so busy in their practices they would t have time to worry about all the other bullshit theu supposedly should be doing.
As for the example of of somene passing out at the gym I won't note u w more anecdotal stories, yes ive been involved in thise situations too, but will say that chiros r trained in basic emergency procedures. Again I said basic, but u do understand that when u generalize as in I'd much rather have a vet than a Chiro if I passd out. That's fine. But it also again depends upon that vet or that chiro and wut their personal experiences r etc.
Etc. I may be remembering wrong cuz I didn't reread ur post but u seem to have a chip on ur shoulders about chiros being doctors. We r doctors. We r not medical doctors.
