No Dr. La Starza, this was not at Parker. They may support needle EMG and MUA, but I don’t think our alma mater would do THIS to someone.

I think she should look deep inside herself and determine if what she really wants to be is a chiropractor. If so, then get to class and make school a priority because what she might learn is that some of our best teachers teach us what not to be.

I can’t believe that this was at Parker?
If you want I will talk to Dr. Mancini about this or even the board at Parker. I am outraged and I feel like flying to Dallas and giving them a piece of my mind.

Lets start a Petition and make our voice be heard! We can get as many people as we need. Just think if we can’t do this, then how is our profession ever going to grow?

Well well well… if this isn’t proof that subluxation is real. Unbelievable! I would definitely seek counsel. If Palmer doesn’t accept you as a student, DON’T GIVE UP! Many of the upper cervical doctors had to struggle going to schools like Logan and trust me… kites only fly against the wind. Heck, transfer to Logan and come to our student nights at the atlas institute. Chiropractic isn’t taught any longer at “Chiropractic” schools anyway. Sherman is the real winner!

Things seem to just keep getting more and more interesting these days. Unfortunately the wrong kind of interesting. I hope everything works out well for her.

You know what Dr. Doble, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that happen one day. Especially with all this talk of chiros wanting to prescribe painkillers, do needle EMGs, and manipulation under anesthesia. My alma mater is in full support of that crap. Eventually we might only be left with Sherman as a true chiropractic school.

Take a look at this case where a medical student in Florida was expelled a quarter before graduation. He sued the college for tuition, expenses, and future earnings. Initially the state awarded him half tuition reimbursement plus interest, but later the Florida Supreme court found it acceptable for him to seek loss in future earnings. The student had already been accepted for residency in a reputable family practice setting he later had to forfeit due to the outcome of his dismissal.

Similar to the medical student, this chiropractic student also had a solid associateship lined up immediately following graduation.

I don’t know the answer to this particular situation, but we as chiropractors are going to have to get together and start sueing the chiropractic colleges, the CCE, and the state boards for harm against the students and the chiropractic principles.

That’s MESSED up!!! I always thought a syllabus was a clear representation to the students what was expected of them. It’s NOT fair to change that at will. Students plan their lives around those things. Legal action should be pursued for sure.

Wow. This is AWFUL! The only thing I remember in a syllabus about a teacher’s right to change is (I think): the teacher can change something if he/she gives the class a two week notice. However, I think (that word, again) that only applies to future endeavors (i.e. upcoming quizzes and exams). To change the ENTIRE grading process midway through is ridiculous!
