So I survived a trip to our local Chiropratic School

Went as part of my Nursing class to visit their cadaver lab.

They offer it to local Nursing Schools as a loss leader to make students sit through presentations on woo. I kept my mouth shut for the Chiropractor but I went all Sheldon Cooper on the Acupuncturist.

He started right off with "Allopaths" and "treating only symptoms", despite just describing what he does as looking for symptoms and creating an acupuncture regiment for those symptoms. Shot my hand right up with an "excuse me but there is no such thing as allopathy, it's a made up nonsensical term, and you criticize actual medicine as being symptom treatments when you do the same."

Danced around my questions about Cochrane reviews of the practice, saying that those reviews support acupuncture because they show acupuncture can not be tested by the scientific method. Nice bit of spin there.

He also seems to believe that it is not important to meet the threshold in order for receptors to reach an action potential and propagate a signal. Just seem to think that the brain can magically know there is a needle stuck somewhere without any nerves actually being triggered.
