Thread: They called this goose a Doctor. That makes a bus driver a Professor?

I seen this on the news this morning- never heard him called a doctor only a chiropractor.

Shocking footage , but why are parents taking such a small child to see a chiropractor?

Cheers Ean

Radio and TV called him a doctor. The head of the Chiropractic Association was just on defending child abuse by suggesting the British have proof abusing babies is good. sadly we pay for these people to go to the 4 universities which allow this

Thanks for your response Professor Ean Austral

Regards Professor of silly dances

I’d suggest all Chiros aren’t real doctors no.

Chiropractors, along with Vets are not "Doctors".

They can only be referred to as Doctors if they hold a Medical Degree or an academic PHD/Doctoral level degree.

ah, i learnt something today.
i just looked it up

3 year Bachelor of Science (Chiropractic) and a 2 year Master of Clinical Chiropractic.

Yes. And to respond to garrycol ‘ s pointed comment re vets not being ‘real’ doctors;

A. many have a degree call DVM. (Doctor of veterinary medicine. Others myself included have a bachelors degree and are technically not able to call themselves doctor

B. All study for a minimum of 5 years

C. All must work in a diagnostic and case management setting far more complex than any human medico subsidised by the private or public health insurance setting



So your condescending attitude is entirely unwarranted

I can't see why vets would want to refer to themselves as doctors, unless it's some kind of inverted snobbery. Vets have to treat multiple species with vastly differing physiological attributes and apart from the odd parrot, they all lack verbal skills.
