	Staten island judge invalidates DC's diagnostic testimony
		Under cross-examination, according to the New York Law Journal, Dr. Patterson was unable to answer whether Jackson had suffered ligament damage, saying the issue was "beyond the scope of his practice." He also conceded that a medical determination of a subluxation would be different from a chiropractic determination.
		The defense asserted the chiropractor failed to describe the purpose of his tests and whether they were accepted by physicians or only chiropractors as diagnostic tools, and that he failed to testify how the plaintiff's results differed from accepted norms for the tests.
		Definitions in the New York education law delineate a tenuous distinction between the professional qualifications of chiropractors and medical doctors.
