its rough out there

I love reading the messages in the podiatry forum. Try being a chiropractor. No drugs, no residency, no surgical anything, and you have to market yourself like crazy. There are no group practices, hospital affiliations, only solo practice. If you can establish a practice, every day is a juggling act. However, it can be done and you can have a nice practice. I refer to some medical specialties and practice NMS conservatively. However, after 20 years of chiropractic my profession, if you want to call it that, shows no interest in advancing to what is modern health care science. There are many quacks out in chiropractic who still think endless sessions of manipulation for "vertebral subluxatoins" which do not exit. And it is not cheap to go to chiro school. The failure rate in chiro is outrageous.

If you want to practice medicine and participate in moderan 21st century medicine, MD or DO school is the only way to go.
