In this brief dialogue, Speaker A explains the concept of medical integration, defining it as the unification of chiropractic and conventional medical care that were previously kept separate. Integration is presented as a way to combine the strengths of both disciplines, creating a more holistic approach to health. Speaker A also counters the criticism that chiropractors who pursue integration are “selling out,” arguing instead that they bring their values and integrity into the medical field, influencing it to rely less on drugs and surgery.

What is medical integration?
I first got into this game, it was called mddc, and I hated that name because it kept them separate. It was like, one's over here, one's over here. The definition of integration is bringing two parts together to make a whole, or bringing two things together that were previously segregated. And that is the exact case with chiropractic and medical. So it's actually bringing the best of both worlds together. Sometimes people think that if a chiropractor goes into integration, they're selling out their values or their. Their integrity. And actually, it's not true. They're bringing that value and integrity into the medical world and influencing the medical world to do less drugs and less surgery.
