Chiropractors are subject to the same uniform rules, both public and state, that govern physicians or healers of other schools as to births and deaths and the control of contagious diseases and are entitled to all the privileges granted other physicians or healers pertaining to the public health. These include the privilege of taking a complete, detailed, and accurate history for the purposes of doing a physical examination for participation in high school or other athletics, and of certifying that the patient is healthy and able to participate.
