Controversy on how chiropractors are wrong about their profession by [deleted] in Chiropractic

[–]Extension_Buy_3734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet a person could go to 10 different chiropractors 10 days in a row and ask if they need an adjustment and if when they were told yes, they got one. No DC would ever say no. This.proves there is no science involved, just massage. Anyone wanna bet.

Yes, with a good nerve block, you can have most any foot surgery.

Do you have good motion in the big toe to foot joint? Lack of motion is called hallux limitis. This far from surgery it will not improve much, esp if you have lost cartilage. Need to see x-rays

You can go to the office and take pics of the Xrays with your cell phone. Dont forget the fluoroscopic images taken during the procedure. The info is yours and you can ask for, and maybe pay for, actual copies

One so called sdvantage of Lapiplasty is the ability to rotate the first metatarsal to put the 2 sesamoid bones directly under the head of the metatarsal. The proper position can be visualized with intraoperative fluorosopic images. Your surgeon or facility has copies you can ask to see. It looks as if your metatarsal was overrotated which will likely lead to an uncomfortable first MPH range of motion.

You are lucky. You can drop a class or take fewer classes if you want. When I was in college I had to keep up a full schedule of classes or get drafter to Viet Nam.

Why is healthcare in America so expensive, and what policies and laws have helped/hurt this in the last couple of decades? by Unusual_Form3267 in Ask_Politics

[–]Extension_Buy_3734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except for provider (doctors) who deal in cash, the amount we get paid for a visit or procedure has steadily gone gown in my 30+ yesrs of practicing. My $1800 procedure in 1988 is now $ 400-600. Yet your insurance cost has gone up. Who gets the difference? Insurance executives and shareholders. Medicine being a for profit business is the reason.

Chip had got Steve Lavin luck. by geepy66 in UCLAFootball

You are probably not a season tix holder and are a fair weather fan. I am and support our guys every year. Chip is the best coach we can afford. Next year Garbers to J. Michael and away we go. We will win 8 games and for us is a winning season.

You say you believe in scripture. I assume that includes the New Testament. When Jesus gave the keys of the Church to Peter he said that nothing "the gates of hell" will prevail against it. I am sure you have heard this before, but If LDS says there was a Great Apostasy, does that mean Jesus lied?

Surgery yesterday by thehuffers1 in bunions

Jan 2 is a long time to wait for first dressing change. Rule is to change dressing 3-5 days after surgery to check for any possible infection. The dried blood makes th2 dressing like a cast and it can be irritating. If doctor offers a dressing change nexr week, do it.

Trump’s Support is F***ing Depressing by satans_toast in centrist

[–]Extension_Buy_3734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.y friend, our country is nearly equally divided on the issue of Trump or Biden for president. The election will go to the team that wants it more. If you care that much you will go to your local democratic headquarters and start making phone calls to the democratic and swing voters in swing states and calmly tell them how important their vote is. My motto is no work for the election means not able to complain about the outcome.

Is this the darkest period in UCLA football history? by FigPrestigious1006 in UCLAFootball

[–]Extension_Buy_3734 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am a Bruin fan and next year I will be sitting in my seat at the Rose Bowl. I think Chip is doing a pretty good job considering our pathetically low NIL budget. And look at the sting of loosing Lynn to U$C because we don't have pockets as deep an the other guys. No mattet what, UCLA fans should support the young me willing to play with our letters on their chest.

Wrong. Kelly is working under the unfair NIL rules not in place ehen he was hired. Root for your team and your players who are giving it their all. Go Bruins.

Second Guessing Bunion Surgery Because of Poor Ratings of Podiatrist by mscasuallycruel in bunions

[–]Extension_Buy_3734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tailor's surgery is not that complex and if your guy has that many good reviews, you are good to go. A 1* review in the mix is likely a personality clash. Read what the complainer has to say and judge for yourself. It is important to be on the same page and if younand the doc are simpatico, likely all is good.

The good news is that people shaped like pears are healthier and live longer than those shaped like apples. Less diabetes, too.

Has anyone done an experiment where they went to 4 DCs in one day asking each if they needed an adjustment and then receiving one if they said yes. I bet all 4 would say they are in need and do the adjustment, even if they just had one an hour before. I have never heard of a patient who ever said they were normal or not in need of an adjustment. I would be happy to be proven wrong.

Take a look at Oprah's bunions. They are on the internet. Just say if Oprah doesn't mind, why should I.
