« Thread Started on Jul 31, 2007, 11:52pm » | |
just wanted to share a story. read, all who are blindly accepting chiro before an MRI.
a person w/ chronic back pain went for a couple years to a chiro, couldn't stand the pain any longer, went to a doctor, and found out he had malignant cancer on his spine.
Doc said, "Wish you'd have come here sooner; there's nothing I can do for you now."
Guy died 4 months later.
I myself quit going to a hustler a year ago, and of course found out what they teach you here---chiro is extremely limited at best.

Failure to diagnose and refer is common. Chiropractors often do get a false sense of security when they refer symptoms that they usually can't interpret but their ability to really assess patient complaints is usually suspect. Thanks for sharing.
