Chiropractors have done a fair job of selling themselves as “physicians” to the ignorant and uneducated and an exception would be if this chiropractors marketing could be shown to lead her to expect more global competence.

There is not. But I am still waiting

that is just nonsense – please link to your “convincing scientific evidence”. On the contrary there are MOUNTAINS of evidence against the efficacy of chiroquacktic (see http://www.quackwatch.com)

chiropractic is pure BS for the uneducated & gullible masses.

I realize that in the world of allopathic medicine, there is a large contingent that believes anything not drug-based is quackery. Unfortunately, there is some very convincing scientific evidence for non-drug based therapies in specific areas. Including chiropractic care for certain types of back, neck and shoulder pain. It does work.

With that being said, no one should trust their chiropractor to do any type of diagnosis outside of musculoskeletal manipulations. That is just foolishness, and if the chiropractor presented himself as someone who knew enough to say otherwise, well he deserves to get sued for malpractice!

It really comes down to reasonable person expectations. If chiropractic as a group has created the public expectation through their propaganda and advertising where the average joe would expect their pronouncement on cancer symptoms to be valid then they have this burden.

In the grocer example, no reasonable person would ever expect a helpful or valid response from a grocer on cancer. I do hope that they can find me some great produce though.
