Just to clarify, we do have potential of stroke,neurological injury in all of our informed consents as that is the law and it is something we have a verbal discussion as well as a signed consent regarding before initiating care. However something more closely linked to the cause of strokes such as the use of certain antibiotics, those risks are certainly not discussed with patients. In fact if all potential medication risks were discussed I fear that you might have to increase standard medial visit times by an additional 10 minutes just to verbalize the risks. Lastly, since as a chiropractor I am not a subject matter expert on medication I do not council my patients on medication I defer that conversation to the medical provider. I suggest you follow those same standards when it comes to chiropractic as you are not the subject matter expert in that field clearly based on your comment about “manipulating yourself”.
"Evidence-based" Chiropractor people! Evidence-based! All others are not even qualified to be called a chiropractor lol. In Canada, there is only 1 chiropractic school (Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College or CMCC) that accepts students that mainly have a 4.0 GPA. I applied as an American student with a 4.0 GPA and just did an interview. Hope I get in even though I come from a Pre-med background. Mind you, the Canadian chiropractic school not only conducts the most chiropractic research but also has a tuition fee like $85,000 (USD) for 4 years which is like half the cost of the US ones. Going to Canada ensures low tuition so you can break even much quicker. Hope this helps those seeking chiropractic care as well as those seeking chiropractic admission. Stay safe and keep your spines healthy :)
Chiropractors wanting to switch to become a physician is basically just anyone wanting to switch to become a physician because being a chiropractor is a joke. Go to a physical therapist a real specialty.
I am an a U.S. trained MD but have a close relationship with Chiropractors. A lot has changed in Chiropractic education. Biology, Chemistry and Physics undergraduate courses are required for admission at most schools. Basic science courses are taught by phds and parallel medical school courses. Anatomy labs are with cadavers. MDs/Dos often teach basic internal medicine in chiropractic schools. Chiropractic students are taught to perform histories and physicals. Students have to study hard to pass these courses. Chiropractors could perform well in a foreign medical school because they have great familiarity with the basics of basic science. I personally know a motivated Chiropractor who went to St. George's and did very well in medical school courses there.
@@murraysolomon4924 They wouldn’t do any better than any student with a bachelors is what I meant. But that’s good if they are changing the education for chiropractors but I doubt it. If chiropractor education is getting better they are probably just copying physical therapist. The whole chiropractic industry is a joke I can’t believe any MD would have their backs. It’s literally pseudoscience.
@@CurtisJBergerJr You need to go tour a Chiropractic College. Remember it is 4 years of schooling. I think you are twenty years behind the times. There are peer reviewed journal articles showing benefits of chiropractic. Even if its placebo effect, it is still useful.
@@murraysolomon4924 idk if my mother in law just had an old guy then. But he would have her put her feet in a water bathe, claim she was getting a "detox" for her foot pain. After several months, she finally listened to me and It turned out to be diabetes!!! So I'm a little skeptical.

I used to see a chiropractor who graduated from there before I moved. She was really great. Follow up appointments were usually a half hour.
Caution: Chiropractors don't make enough money to warrant the time & expense of the schooling.

@@murraysolomon4924 wait are you telling me they didn't have those requirements before?
