Dave the Trainer was going on and on about the chiropractor who was teaching some exercise class this weekend and I had to tell him just how little I thought of a group of people that eschewed the scientific method. Basically, I think they’re a bunch of loons who make things up. I thought about it for a while, wondering why I was so against them and I realized a couple of things. I don’t like people who believe in a lie, and this includes certain core beliefs that many people share that I do not.
I also don’t trust my medical care to people who did so much worse in school than I did. I was a big geek and I worked pretty hard for my grades. Well, at least I worked for my grades. The problem is, some of the naturopaths, homeopaths, chiropractors, etc, are those guys who were stoned through my chemistry classes. I’m sure there are those in those fields who did well in school, but I’ve found them to be the exception. Their disdain for Western medicine also translated to a disdain for Western learning. It’s a matter of trust, I suppose, and I really don’t trust someone to look at my bloodwork if they didn’t do well in Biochem.
Ah, well, I can chalk this up to another one of my issues.
you’re stoopid. just ‘cuz you go to stoopid chiropractors doesn’t mean there aren’t awesome ones out there. don’t be a hater.
hahaha, you probably did better in school than the Western doctors as well
I know two guys who became chiropractors and both spent an inordinate amount of time stoned in school and both are practically con men.
I also had a friend who was almost killed by a chiropractor whose work left him so crippled he thought he was having a heart attack after one appointment and we had to rush him to the doctor.
And don’t get me started on the chiropractor that told the woman I worked for that he could cure her dyslexia by adjusting the plates in her skull!
