CHIROPRACTIC HONG KONG - RABID DOGS IN THE EAST- by Dr Bruce VaughanRABID DOGS IN THE EAST, Chiropractic Hong Kong is aptly dedicated to the many chiropractors around the world who have been part of the struggle against the medical establishment, especially those who suffered the ignominy of arrest and imprisonment for the crime of healing the sick. It is because such people stood their ground that chiropractic has survived and taken its rightful place in the health-care system.
DR Vaughan takes us through the chiropractic profession's struggle in Hong Kong to gain acceptance. It closely parallels the determined and illegal (so the judges found in the celebrated Wilkes case) protectionism of the anti-chiropractic crusaders in America who described chiropractors as "rabid dogs", "killers", "unscientific cultists" and of course "quacks". As the founder President of the Hong Kong Chiropractors' Association, Dr Vaughan is well qualified to write about Hong Kong. This is no heavy, academic tomb. Every lover of chiropractic will enjoy this book, and especially Bruce Vaughan's delightful sense of humour which comes powerfully through. This is the heart warming description of Hong Kong's hard-fought campaign for full recognition of Chiropractic under the law - now won.
