    How many chiropractors do you know that have committed such an atrocity?

    If that were true, no one would go to one.

    You have to know what you are doing to even graduate.  And there are great ones out there and a lot of quacks.   Just research the doctor before you trust him or any doctor for that matter.

    How much do you stay informed? The word is out and is damaging to the practice AND those who hold it dear.
