Rimshot? I don't get it.

Apparently, you did get it.
I've had extensive experience with chiropractors. All of it bad. I fully believe that you earned your doctorate. I also fully believe that much of the field and a great deal of its practitioners fall into the realm of 'quacktitude'. Obviously, I don't know you or of the (I'm sure) great work you do - so my feelings aren't directed at you, personally.
But, I firmly believe that many of your brethren have a keen interest in never quite making patients well and losing the steady return work (I feel the same about many shrinks.) I have a hard time lumping chiropractors and shrinks into the same basket as (regular?) medical doctors, nurses, and physician's assistants. And when you toss in the 'influence' of insurance companies to the mix of chiropractors and shrinks, it can easily multiply the ugliness. Sorry if you're offended - and you probably should be if you take pride in your work; but my feelings are pretty strong based on personal experiences.
