It is a map of horror. Or at least that is what many Florida State University faculty believe, including the couple of physicians who created this map. FSU faculty fear that their school will begin to train primary care practitioners who are trained as chiropractors – Palm Beach Post [link above] reports on the threats of these Florida State physicians to quit if a chiropractic school is approved by the university’s board of governors this month. And St. Petersburg Times reports:
The list of critics include FSU’s two Nobel laureates – Robert Schreiffer, a physicist, and Harold Walter Kroto, a chemist – and Robert Holton, the chemistry professor who developed the cancer-fighting drug Taxol, which has brought FSU tens of millions of dollars in royalties. In recent weeks, more than 500 faculty members have signed petitions against the chiropractic school, including about 70 in the medical college, said Dr. Raymond Bellamy, an assistant professor who is leading the charge against the proposal.
