Re: Anyone Else Have a Problem with This?: N.M. bill to permitchiropractors to practice medicine

[Guest guest]

Beware of the true intent. A few years ago there was similar intent filed but

the bill came out giving the chiro licensing board control over who could

perform manipulations excluding MD's and DO's. Can anyone guess who they were

aiming at.

We were able to defeat the bill in committe

Anyone Else Have a Problem with This?: N.M. bill to permit

chiropractors to practice medicine

Anyone else has any insight to this:

From Chiroeco.com

February 7, 2011 — Bill HB127, introduced Jan 20, 2011, has been proposed in

the state of New Mexico.

If passed, this bill will authorize " certified advanced practice

chiropractic physician to prescribe and administer any dangerous drug or

controlled substances subject to approval by the chiropractic board and

within the physician's clinical specialty. "

Additionally, " the existing statutory prohibition against chiropractors

performing invasive procedures, operative surgery, and prescription or use

of controlled or dangerous drugs is eliminated. "
