The reason real doctors aren't doing this is the difference in insurance regimes. The Chiropractors soliciting patients are expecting to get paid by the auto insurance company for a set number of "adjustments" whose price has little relation to the cost of business. The doctors are being paid by the medical insurance companies, who are already in a relationship with the doctor and may be getting some sort of discount already. Also, you probably already have a doctor, and unless you go the emergency room after your accident, you may go see him and perhaps get referred to a specialist he knows. The Chiropractors here are getting you fresh off the pavement, and have no existing relationship with you.

Some insightful comments there. I love the idea of the reverse auction for the lawyers, and the discussion over why doctors aren't doing this.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
