    I can walk into a fortune teller’s office and be seen immediately. Skilled medical professionals are both in high demand, and limited supply. It’s a problem, but we don’t learn anything by comparing them to people who don’t have those constraints. I do agree with you that there will one day be a reckoning that putting people on long wait lists without fixing the problems for decades amounted to something immoral.

      For sure, & I didn’t intend to appear as though I was equivocating real medical specialists with chiropractors. Just observing that their popularity might be less about a population filled with woo ideas, and more about a deficit of real doctors & a bogged down & underfunded healthcare system. I agree, those chickens will come home to roost.
