I'm in agreement. One minor example, for as much as anyone thinks the Hippocratic Oath has worth - let's be honest, this is HN, there is sure to be a spectrum of opinions - psychologists are NOT required to swear it.

Because the Hippocratic oaths are reserved for doctors of medicine/osteopathy , not for psychologists. Psychiatrists are doctors of medicine, psychologists are not

Just need to add Osteopathy believe that the Subluxation is the cause of disease, just like Chiroprators.

(Modern Osteopathy Schools are basically medical schools, usually for people who didn't get a spot in a med school. Are they as prestigious, or fancy--no, but the graduate can prescribe, and do surgery.)
