In response to my article "National Insurance Fraud Seminar Focuses On Chiropractic" published 11/17/03 in Dynamic Chiropractic, Paul Lee, P.T. aka quackbuster writes in his blog -


This article by a chiropractor is an unsurprising and typical example of how chiropractic and chiropractors ignore the elephant in their own living room. To everyone else, it's a "so what else is new" experience, when one reads about the attitudes of the insurance industry people. Of course they are skeptical about chiropractic. What else can one expect when the profession fails to police itself, and even teaches attitudes and practices that all others in the healthcare field consider unscientific and unethical?


The problem with what he writes is problematic on a number of levels:


1. I wrote the article and I am not a chiropractor, thus it is not a typical example of how chiropractic and chiropractors ignore the problem, or in his words "the elephant in their own living room".


2. It appears that he failed to read the article before placing it on his blog with his tainted remarks.


3. The purpose of my article was to point out the inaccuracies of information being taught to insurance investigators at the seminar.


Mr. Lee appears to be indicative of the problem that we all face today in health care - which is that investigators, and in this case, a self-proclaimed quackbuster, choose to ignore the available information, relevant evidence and facts prior to spewing their venom and hate.


Surely, if Mr. Lee had read the article he might have learned something.
