  1. HMc: Your assertion that 4th year medical students need NOT the ability to differentiate between
    skin lesions is unacceptable. They are 4th year medical students for goodness sake. Just because
    they are going to pick an organ in the next four years does not excuse them from having(at least)
    rudimentary skills in this area, esp. after the almighty medical training you spoke of.

    Thank you for indirectly recognizing that the chiropractic student must adhere to a higher standard
    of fourth year proficency in differential diagnostic skills.

    IMO you should be outraged and concerned over the studies finding at BAWston

    Of course, it's all the education the chiropracters get on the subject. However, I thought you were
    talking about skin examination, which is a physical exam skill, and nothing to do with differential
    diagnosis. Even licensed barbers get education in skin examination. I don't see anyone proposing
    that a barber's education is superior to a physician's.

    I'm doing my best to contain my outrage over this desperately important skin lesion issue.

    IMO, *your* outrage indicates a lack of understanding as to how the education of physicians works,
    not to mention being overly impressed with the reputation of Boston Medical College.
