This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Pharmacists and General practitioners believing in homeopathy. Physical Therapists believing in chiropractice. There’s way too many examples. But at least physical therapists don’t tend to have PHDs :D

Well they do now. Physical therapy changed to a doctoral degree several years ago. You have to get a doctor of physical therapy (DPT) degree plus pass the licensing tests to practice these days.

It's still not an MD, but yes.

Physical Therapists believing in chiropractice

I will never not be mad that chiropracticians have largely avoided the hunt for woo-woo magic crystal retards. Don't get me wrong, some people have managed to find treatment for chronic pain in things like acupuncture and chiropractic care that they couldn't get elsewhere, but most of the time this is presented as equal to physiotherapy despite lacking any scientific support, and the inability for "alternative medicine" to cure or permanently treat people.
