Yeah, better to live by a “real doctor”‘s philosophy of a pill, puncture, potion or powder 3 times a week, or even DAILY to treat “symptoms” than to find out what’s causing the problem and treat that. Kinda like the swine flu shot this girl got:

Some day you will all wake up. Until then, enjoy your foolishness. Maybe if (dare I say this) READ the information in MEDICAL journals showing effectiveness of spinal manipulation and neurological and biomechanical injuries, you’d easily come and walk “the dark side” – heck the military is even hiring doctors of chiropractic.
But, alas, I’m sure not ONE of you will read the education needed to become a DC. Too bad.
I will say this, EACH profession has their 10% IDIOTS. It’s unfortunate that these kids right out of college put their faith into Practice Marketing Guru’s so blindly.
It is unfortunate that they don’t grossly overcharge their patients and hire an advertising media group for TV and Radio Ads like your MD’s do.
But, again, someday WE will wake up, OVERCHARGE our patients, put them in a room for 2-3 hours, give them shots (after signing a disclaimer from harmful effects) and rely on the commercials done by good looking actors (so they don’t stick out their own necks) promoting their drugs.
So have fun, make fun of DC’s, show your ignorance and for GOD’S SAKE don’t educate yourself with the facts!

It seems he is sending out the letters one-at-a-time? Then, if one person does not respond to his offer he sends it to the next person, their neighbor? What a terrible way to market,must take him all year to get through just one neighborhood. If it were me I would send out at least 10-15 letters at a time!

Fluffy could he have been jealous of you for actually trying to further yourself rather than trying to say …… become a chiropractor. Lol

Alarming that the “doctor” would find it disturbing for you to carry textbooks. Can you picture him as a college student showing up to class unprepared or bookless because he didn’t want to strain his vertabrae?

@bored: Ever heard of Robert Rankin?

I thought this place was geeky enough to use his frequently used phrase after I’ve seen Monty Python, Douglas Adams and The Big Lebowski work.

It is a well-known fact to those who know it well that a lot of that goose-stepping was spineless in the first place.

It’s a little known fact that chiropracty first became commonplace in Germany in the middle of the last century.

All that goose-stepping is murder on the spine.

The job just wasn’t right for you. I can sense the bad vibes. I’m sure your aura was negatively affected by the whole situation.
Nothing a good spinal adjustment once or twice a week for a few years couldn’t cure, Fluffy.

When I worked with a chiropractor, he had a “very serious talk” with me for carrying one-two (sometimes three) textbooks in my messenger bag. He said it put too much weight on my shoulder. I asked him “what about a regular back pack?”
“But then the weight would be on both shoulders.”
“Well, then, what do you expect I do? Carry them in a box?” I guess that was a little too sarcastic for him because he just walked away and said “I can’t deal with your energy right now, Fluffy!”

Whatever, I quit and he replaced me with some girl who wore orthopedic shoes.

…and by “quit,” I mean “fired.”
