OK

1) I'll amend the statement to 99% cannot diagnose anything other than hearing loss. One of the first steps in assessing vertigo is an MRI. An audiologist is not even permitted to order an MRI (unless the rules have changed in the last 8 years), so how can they even begin to diagnose anything?

2) Withdrawn. It was a hyperbole intended to draw attention to the mistake of starting the assessment of a problem with a chiropractor rather than a qualified doctor. Apologies, especially to 2 good friends of mine that are chiropractors

3) I stand by that assertion. How many disasters, how many dead patients does it take to qualify as not being "categorically wrong"???? I don't measure unnecessary deaths in "percentage of time"
