Need Advice from chiropractors!?
I am a college student majoring in biology and am thinking about attending chiropractic school.
I want to work independently, but I am a little weary of that. I was wondering about being sued by patients. Obviously, I will be certified, but these days you must watch out for those types of people. (Like the woman who sued the fast food joint for spilling her hot coffee on herself). Anyways, to the chiropractors, Is it common for chiropractors to get sued over “malpractice?” If so, what happens next? That is the only thing that is holding me back. I have read and read about chiropractic as a career and it seems like the right career choice..
Also, any opinions on the best chiropractic schools? I am having trouble narrowing it down and I really don’t want to travel around the US touring schools! I am interested in Palmer, New York, Connecticut, and Georgia. I live in the east so I would like to stay around here, but if not, thats ok.
Don’t worry about being sued. Chiropractors are one of the least likely to be sued, and their very low malpractice premium reflects that. You’re worrying for something way too early for you. There are numerous ways to protect yourself. You’ll figure it all out by the time you graduate.
As for school, there’s only one to go. Life University in Atlanta. When you’re down there, master the Gonstead technique. Chiropractors who are able to do Gonstead are always the top of their profession. I only refer patients to Gonstead chiropractors, no other.
