Educating someone implies imparting knowledge and that is not what you want to do. You want everyone to buy into your over inflated opinion of yourself that you try to build up by tearing others down.
Did I say that chiropractors are equivalent to medical doctors? (I'll wait while you search in vain for that.) I said I have great respect for many doctors. I said thank God that chiropractors do what they do, medical doctors do what they do, dentists do what they do. But you are not happly unless others say medical doctors are the only profession with any worth and chiropractors are snake oil salesmen.
And you offer NOTHING other than hubris to back up your claim and dismissiveness to anyone who isn't buying the crap you are selling.

OK, truce. Neither of us are going to change each other's mind. Perhaps if you had watched a 42 year old nursing supervisor die a painful protracted death over a 6 month period because she went to a chiropractor who treated her with "adjustments" 2x/week for 8 months without so much as an x-ray or a medical opinion you might feel differently. If she was brought into your ER with paralysis below the waist which took me all of 10 minutes to diagnose you'd feel differently. Perhaps if you saw the spinal tumor on her CT that was eroding her spinal cord and clearly inoperative at this point 8 months later you might feel differently. Perhaps, upon sending her to the University for emergency RT, knowing she probably was never going to survive, you might feel differently. Maybe not.
If you knew me, you would know I am far from arrogant. It's was only that "high praise for chiropractors" that set me off, emotionally, because of the above experience and a few others. I think I made a pretty succinct post about my real feelings regarding chiropractors. I also think we both reverted to childish posts from that point on. For my 1/2, I'll take the high road and apologize.
And I sincerely meant it when I stated I hope you bet relief from your pain
PS: I went to repost what I truly felt about chiropractors, I even had the post #, but it got removed, for no reason I can think of. The short version was that I referred patients to chiropractors because traditional medicine often fails to help those with chronic pain. My only prerequisite was that we made a medical diagnosis first and the person had at least a trial of traditional medication/physical therapy/modalities.
