A bad doctor that operates you based on a misdiagnosis can also do a lot of damage.
Giving pain killers is a quite standard approach of doctors to deal with people who complain about pain and not very well targeted to solve underlying problems either.
There’s vastly more quality control in medicine than in alternative medicine, which is the context in which I meant my comment to be read.
There are lazy doctors, yes, but I’m a bit tired of you painting all of them with the same brush. Also NSAIDs are the most effective treatment known for many problems which understandably bores patients who are anxious to get all kinds of bells and whistles on their first visit.
the average practice of chiropractic is a lot closer to operating than the average doctoral practice. They do spinal adjustments as a matter of course.

That depends a lot of how you measure “closeness to operating”. A bad doctor can hit a nerve when he gives you an injection via a syringe.
A lot of drugs can have quite nasty side effects.
