” You decided to recommend that BP Totty see a chiropractor for a serious case of scoliosis which is clearly inappropriate”
No, if you rer-read what I posted you will see that I CLEARLY opined that BPT should consult with BOTH a chiro AND another orthopedist or even two more if necessary, and btw,chiropractic has been shown to be EXTREMELY effective in some types of scoliosis problems, though probably not in this particular case would it be recommended. I am sorry that you may have had some bad experiences with chiropractors, either you or family members. But the funny things is when a MEDICAL doc’s help proves valueless or does not fix the problem, no one go screaming that people should not go to medical docstors. Traditionally the opposite view has been widely held in regard to going to chiropractors. There are good and bad practicioners in every field. There are surgeons with talented hands and there are butchers (ever see a really bad nose job?). There are excellent chiropractors and there are people who should not be practicing in the field. That is all I am saying. A responsible and honest chiropractor will tell his or her patient when the patient needs more traditional medical intervention. But more often than not, they can help where an orthopedist cannot. There is room for both, is all I am saying.
