Your entire premise is false since no legitimate university offers doctorates in chiropractic anything, as has been stated multiple times in this thread.

Psychologists typically have a PhD (the oldest doctor degree) or PsyD (less popular)---and a doctorate is required--then have to go through intensive training (internship, post-doc) to be able to provide certain services like psychotherapy and psychological testing (which is pretty much exclusive to psychologists). A couple states allow, with extra training, some prescription privileges, but that is rare. That said, there are many psychologists (neuro, rehab) that work on hospitals with physicians. I don't think it's very comparable to anything like chiropractors.
Well, that just loops back to the pseudo medical 'doctor' PhD deal.

The fact that humans think they can read the minds of pet cats, hamsters, and turtles, AND then surmise that said pets suffer from chronic pain of which the only suitable treatment is strategic repeated pin pricking....is quite disturbing. People never cease to amaze me. I'd be pissed off if I was the pet cat.

Correct, but the last sentence is still accurate imo. I was skeptical, but it helps dogs with cancer and shite. It is mostly pajn relief, not curing things.

hopefully the sister-in-law can magically detect belonephobic kitties as well. wouldn't want to traumatize them with all the thumbtacks.

none of the bullshot you jokesters are making fun of. It is identifying tumors, and using acupuncture to stimulate blood flow and white blood cells. No mind reading...there is a different lady for that but that shite is nutty.

Can a chiropractor fix something no other doctor can fix by modern day medicine? Absolutely.
This is not true. Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine perform alignments, too, and many other minor manipulations that most people consider to be unique to chiropractors. They are quite similar in terms of techniques they are trained in to chiropractors, except that when it comes to high velocity, low amplitude motions (cracking neck/beck/etc), DO's believe that things should return to their anatomical position while chiropractors take it past anatomical normals. Look up the origins of chiropractory if this interests you. It's heavily rooted in, I believe, AT Still's methods of Osteopathy. If I'm not mistaken, the Father of Chiro was an understudy of AT Still (the father of Osteopathic Medicine).

Optometrists can do some surgeries in Louisiana.
You should see what they're referring to as "surgery" if you aren't familiar with it. It's not in operating rooms, it's not cataracts or lasic. It's more like being able to charge for pulling an in-turned eyelash out with tweezers, cut open and drain basically an infected zit on the eyelid, and shoot a laser (sounds way cooler than it is) to make a hole in the iris. Of course, I'm trying to be simple in these explanations. But the idea that they're now "surgeons" is a farce to begin with until you get down to the plain English of surgery that would include pulling out a pair of tweezers to get a splinter out of your hand as being surgery.
What's the point of all that? They're still doctors, yet their field of practice is, while similar, quite distinct from an ophthalmologist's. The biggest thing in common, however is that when someone yells

Would you mind expanding on how they're able to do this?
