I guess I could cite medical ethics for not speaking up.  But that may just be
a cop out.  However, since I have no license to practice medicine or
chiropractic it is far better to not advise a patient in a clinical
environment.  Any opinions I express must come from personal rather than
professional experience.

Your last question brings up a point I often make:  Most chiropractors realize
their capabilities and know their limits.  They like you know where they fit
in with overall patient care.  I have found that most MD's do not know or do
not care to recognize the benefits of chiropractics.  There may be one or two
bad apple chiros out there spoiling the reps of the majority that make quality
adjustments only when they are warranted.  Knowing when to refer a patient
and when to treat a patient is something MD's need to learn.
