Funny how someone can go blindly (drunkardly) through university taking no more than the necessary requirements, barely graduating with still no major declared and attend a 6 month course studying the art of chiropractics and poof,...he's a doctor.

my good friends brother is gonna be chiropracter. his gf's mom always introduces him to her friends by saying he's going to be a doctor. but, and i could be wrong, chiropracters are not doctors, and to call themselves that could incure legal penalties. from my understanding, they're like orthotists and prothetists, they get a masters degree or a masters certificate. they're "practitioners." from my time doing observations at an O&P facility, they won't correct you if you call them dr., but they shouldn't be calling themselves that. maybe chiro's do get a phd in the field, but they are not medical doctors.
that said, i went to one for about a month, getting adjusted 4-5x week, and after about 2 weeks, my back felt better than i could ever remember. but then school started up again, and i couldn't get there because of the commute and schedule. after about a month, it went back to feeling it's normal crappy self.
