I think I have been pretty consistent---I acknowledged referring patients to chiropractors and other ancillary services when appropriate, but pretty harshly warn against getting evaluated by those fringe practitioners first. Sorry if I ruffle some feathers, but the public sometimes just doesn't "get it". There are a lot of quacks and snake oil salesmen out there, and if I can do some small part to protect the innocent, I'm going to take it.
As far as "having a degree and being retired" goes, I think my career is a bit more than that. For all anyone knows, when they play Dr. Google they may be quoting me from the content that I myself have written. When they need inpatient medical care, they may be receiving treatment under protocols that I have written. So, consider it arrogant if you will, but I feel obligated to utilize my extensive knowledge to benefit others, within certain constraints of law and ethics. And yes, sometimes I get overzealous.

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and, in particular, your compassion for helping others. Your thoughts are appreciated. My vertigo issues occur when tracking movement over an extended period like scrolling on the Internet or watching a video with lots of movement. Is that something that I live with or is there a specialist to recommend who might best evaluate that issue?
