1938 Packard Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Seven bedroom house in Margate, another house in Boca Raton, boat, fancy assed car, put both his sons all the way through college and he's got no debts to speak of. But hey, everybody likes to point and laugh and say chiropractors are not "real" doctors. They earn as much as real doctors. It's not an easy business to get into. Gotta go to college and study up on anatomy, biology, chemistry, pharmacology, neurology, Latin, Greek... disassemble human cadavers, do internships and even turn in a doctoral dissertation. Yep, all the very same things an M.D. student has to do. I think this is how he's able to pop my neck and make the pains stop without severing a nerve and leaving me paralyzed from the neck down. If it were a job for quacks and flunkies, there would be one on every corner and they wouldn't earn any more than a hair dresser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Toulon Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 My ex is a hair dresser and charges $800 for some clients.......She doesn't open up her shop for less than $30 an hour, yet she stays booked. Maybe you should have used Janitor as your meager earning example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1938 Packard Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 How do you know so much about your chiropractor? You fucking creeping in his bushes? Just ordinary conversation while the work is getting done, over the past twenty years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those I met are completely out of work most of the time and when they get hired, they're only getting a token amount above minimum wage.

That just shows you differences between people. This one's a chatterbox and yours isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well anyone grooming a rat tail can't exactly charge much, so I guess you have a point with youy anecdotal experience that belies the many hairdressers I know that make a fine living off of it.

mthor Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 ...and yet they're still not real doctors. True. Real doctors can legally pronounce someone dead. In fact, depending on the state and the circumstances, even RN's can pronounce someone dead. But chiropractors can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just choose to believe that a chiropractor doesn't have to study medicine or turn in a doctoral dissertation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenguinBoss Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The real packard wouldn't pay for a chiropractor. He'd pay some homeless guy $3 to hit him in the back with a baseball bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybeeee because there's no evidence whatsoever that chiropractic works any better than a placebo? Or that it's founded on any number of pseudo-scientific claims? Turns out if you want to practice actual medicine, those things are kind of important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
