Heard Ex Rel. Heard v. Payne

John I. Purtle, Justice.

The trial court dismissed appellants’ petition for mandamus at the close of appellants’ presentation of evidence in a trial before the court. The appellants here argue that the court erred in directing a verdict in favor of the appellee. They contend that Act 244 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1967 contained a typographical error, that a chiropractor is a licensed physician in this case, and that the word “may” in Act 244 means “shall.” We hold that a chiropractor is not a licensed physician in this case and affirm the trial court.
