All of the preceding is written in a clear and precise manner. All the excess verbal fat has been trimmed away leaving only a prime cut of information. It's also filled with diagrams, illustrations and a wide assortment of forms. All of which is almost too good to be true, because on page 68 the author seems impelled to define a chiropractor's relationship to diagnosis. Although chiropractors are experts on chiropractic analysis, they are not specialists in the field of diagnosis.
Internists are medical specialists who are highly qualified to diagnose.
Every chiropractic patient should be mindful of his own symptoms and should secure medical opinion if he has any concern as to the nature of his illness or injury. Your doctor of chiropractic may express an opinion as to whether or not you should take this step, but you should take the initiative if in doubt. The patient should not look to the doctor of chiropractic for indepth diagnostic procedures. The DC provides a specialized health service and does not and should not become involved in the patient's medical regimen. Upon reading the preceding I can only say that I felt a wave of nausea that hasn't stopped even as I write these words.
