[edit]Re: reference --
See:
In 1980, George Goodheart went to the Winter Games in Lake Placid at the invitation of Dr. Dardik, who was head of U.S. Olympic Sports Medicine Team. From there, Eileen Haworth was asked to go to the '84 Olympics in Los Angeles. The U.S. decided to "officially" invite a chiropractor; Eileen was asked. As mentioned, Jan Corwin was the first to go through the two-week internship program and then go on to the Olympics. We have had a chiropractor as part of the U.S. Olympic Sports Medicine Team each Summer Games since 1988, and at the Winter Games since 2002, when Robin Hunter broke the ice in Salt Lake City. (As an aside, at each of the past two Olympics, Athens and Turino, two chiropractors were officially assigned to the U.S. team.)

Patent
[edit]I have removed the information about Dardik's patent, as the only information available that is at all relevant indicates that a patent has been filed, but not awarded, for a process involving the use of electormagnetic energy in metal rolling and processing. It seems that the Dardik involved in that patent may not be the same as the one we have here, and even if it is, the information is quite irrelevant to the content of the article.

Controversy. "What controversy? Move right along now, there's no controversy here..."
[edit]The paragraph on Dardik, a doctor, or is it ex-doctor, losing his medical license strikes me as an extremely weird piece of writing.
We are told that his license was suspended after "a successful lawsuit by a disgruntled former patient despite the fact that no harm was ever claimed..." "Disgruntled" is presumably the opinion of the Wiki piece's writer, and as such has no business in Wikipedia. Clearly the judge, the jury, and the medical authorities thought there was more here than somebody's lack of gruntle. What was it?
The defensive claim that "no harm was ever claimed" is odd, too. If that is indeed the case, then presumably the law suit and the suspension of the license were about something other than claims of harm. Again, what?

Coveted gold medal.
[edit]"##1976 - AMA's coveted Hektoen Gold medal[6][7] (for the umbilical vein discovery)."
Who won the uncoveted golds there? Or is this just puffery rather than a distinction between grades of gold?
