I almost lost a friend who was misinformed about chiropractors. Had she been aware, she would never have gone in the first place. Denigrate the profession? If that is what it takes for them to be honest with a patient. What is more important? A person's life or keeping quiet that the PHD a chiropractor does NOT make him a medical doctor. (just so we don't hurt their feelings) They have their usefulness, no doubt. But, people should be informed of what that usefulness is.
BTW: A medical doctor denigrating a chiropractor is not hypocritical. You stated both are in the same profession. They are not! A chiropractor IS NOT a medical doctor. I am not in the medical field, but I am going to put myself out there and state -NOT EVEN CLOSE! They only have a few similarities. I have a friend who has a PHD in the field of education. Does that compare to a medical doctor?

Finally someone with common sense, thank you.
Now, I have to go cash my check from the pharmaceutical company that owns me, collect my kickbacks from local pharmacies, and practice applying Band-Aids so I can get "rich".
Isn't it amazing how some posters need to confirm they are total idiots in writing?
