They did it to themselves with the voodoo bullshit trying to be pretend doctprs but it doesn't mean their services are useless. Medical Community used their stupid PR to drive them from the discourse. Remember that doctors are not our friends, just another merchant that might do you right.
Many people are satisfied with their chiropractor services and that in of it self is value even if some quack thinks it's placebo.
That seems awfully self-selecting, doesn't it? Someone that is dissatisfied is not likely to remain a customer
Why are you blaming this on actual medical practitioners immediately after saying "They did it to themselves with the voodoo bullshit trying to be pretend doctors". Of course actual doctors aren't interested in what people who are lying about being doctors have to say
The customer decides, not the quack;)
The customer decides what?
I don't see what point you're trying to make. Yes, the customer decides what they're happy with. I didn't say otherwise
The chiropractic field drove themselves from the scientific discourse by refusing to participate in peer-reviewed double-blind studies. I'm very good friends with a chiropractor and know others through them. If I had a nickel for every "science can't study what we do" I'd be a rich man. We just don't talk about it because it's not productive to friendship lol
Doctors are not just merchants. I've had indifferent ones and ones that really gave a damn. Many of them go into the field and stick with it to help people. Many do not, but it's not accurate to paint the bunch with one brush.
Not sure how it works in other countries but in US they are just merchants.... You are only getting a proper care if they care. They have responsibility to merely do what their corpo employer tells them to. Which ain't much.
