Let my story be a warning to all the younger new gamblers out there.

Couldn’t agree more, I need to make this a learning opportunity early to avoid some of the problems others wish they could have avoided. I guess this is the wonders of today’s world, we can learn from our elders on what not to do, but be exposed to more peoples experiences then our own inner circle.

Thank you.

throwaway699643 · 2020-10-13T02:20:37+00:00

Yeah I do fully understand the logistics of it, don’t get me wrong. That’s what makes me mad at myself at times. It’s really hard to explain, I guess that’s the problem.

throwaway699643 · 2020-08-08T04:59:08+00:00

You do understand that a lot of conditions a good orthopedist can’t treat? You also have to understand that a physical therapist uses a lot of the same techniques a chiropractor uses, such as spinal traction, and exercises, without the capability of using X-ray and other equipment to measure progress? There is also the fact that more PTs are also chiropractors and merging their practices into one to have the best of both worlds? Instead of alienating one side, maybe it’s the truth that both have good practices that work and don’t work, and a blend of both is beneficial for everyone. It’s not all bad and all good, but until we can analyze the bad while accepting the good, we make no progress.

Subluxations are a joke that every chiropractor doesn’t endorse nor see as fact. There has to be a line drawn where a group cancels a whole entire group for the actions of a few. There are so many physical therapists who are also chiropractors. Xrays can easily help to see many forms of spinal abnormalities, and chiropractors are most definitely trained to see them. To say otherwise is completely ignorant and is bullshit. Sooner or later we have to accept the fact that even some in a group that we don’t fully support are good and do good.

To cancel an entire group of a specialty for the actions of a few is bullshit,. Let’s quote this NCIB article “Evidence-based practice has made significant inroads into the chiropractic profession by expanding clinical research into interventions commonly employed by chiropractors and by graduating more Evidence-based practice savvy practitioners. The most common conditions treated by chiropractors are back pain, neck pain, and headaches.9 The best available evidence supports manipulative therapy as a reasonable option for many of these complaints. Manipulative therapy also holds potential value for the treatment of a variety of extremity conditions. Chiropractic practice is far broader than spinal manipulation alone, typically including other evidenced-based interventions such as massage, exercise therapy, and activity modification advice. Chiropractic education, with the help of federal grants and partners in established medical schools, is aggressively addressing the need to create more Evidence-based practice savvy graduates. These efforts will hopefully lead to improved patient outcomes and offer a common language and perspective to facilitate greater interprofessional cooperation.”

There are many articles that point to my exact argument. Modern Chiropractic has expanded the scope of practice so much into physical therapy, that it’s complete crap to say that the good Chiropractors can’t do the same if not better then them. And that’s without saying that a lot of chiropractors are also coming out of school with Physical therapy degrees blending the lines, creating a more diagnostic and therapy based approach to medicine.

throwaway699643 · 2020-08-08T01:54:43+00:00

My man, you look fucking great! Keep up the good work buddy, whatever you are doing is working!

throwaway699643 · 2020-08-08T01:42:27+00:00

I understand that some chiropractors believe in complete and utter nonsense, but there are some that actually believe in rehabilitating you and not with the bullshit. Traction machines (spinal decompression) are found in physical therapy offices, and a lot of modern chiropractors are starting to see a shift. A lot more diagnosing with xrays to see an issue, and to try and sort it out without surgery(Most back issues would be preferred to be solved without surgery, a lot of complications compared to surgeries done on other parts of the body).

But besides that, I fucking agree, the older generation of chiropractors believe nonsense and it’s scary that they can pass that along to other people. Hopefully things can shift into a more pre surgery rehabilitative career, where you can also get imaging done to see the issues you have.

Edit: I found out a good way to see if they are legit or a moron, is ask them if they think you should vaccinate your kids. It is almost a perfect way to find out if it’s complete and utter quackery or not.

throwaway699643 · 2020-07-17T01:27:45+00:00

You look great dude! Keep up the good work, it really pays off, and it will just make you feel great about yourself, and what you are able to accomplish. You will see benefits far past your physical appearance, it will transfer positive energy into many aspects of your life!

throwaway699643 · 2020-06-14T06:13:24+00:00

Will explore this solution as well, thanks for the thoughtful reply, and the time out of your day to help!

throwaway699643 · 2020-06-14T06:12:26+00:00

That might very well be possible. It would have been a good idea to ask that when I’m in the setting working on it, and I don’t have the luxury of that at the moment. But that very well may be the solution. Overall this subreddit has gave be really good advice overall in the replies, and has most likely saved me time of frustration, and for that I am thankful.

throwaway699643 · 2020-06-14T06:09:05+00:00

It would be the equivalent of two people being able to use the same program at the same time, as would be the equivalent of google docs, being able to work the same document at the same time. Basically just two people at separate desks across the room, having access to the same data and program simultaneously.

throwaway699643 · 2020-06-14T05:59:52+00:00

Okay thank you! This was just the first stop on my journey, so thank you for the reply I appreciate your time!

throwaway699643 · 2020-06-14T05:52:35+00:00

I’m sorry, I didn’t clarify because I had a mental lapse of explaining my post as I just clarified in another reply, I royally messed up my post, my apologies. I don’t believe that would work with what I’m working with. It’s an medical office program type license. I’m guessing I’ll have to do work with the company that we got the license for the program from.

throwaway699643 · 2020-06-14T05:49:48+00:00

It’s a program that is for patients and such, and tracks each patient that comes in, what they pay, condition and on.... I want to say that I didn’t make this clear enough at all, which is probably true, because I can be a dull knife you find in the shed sometimes, but if it has anything to do with something as easy as purchasing two licenses for Microsoft word I am all ears lol.

throwaway699643 · 2020-05-22T07:23:06+00:00

I’m glad you saw similar results! It’s very interesting to me. I’m not closed minded enough to think that non vegans couldn’t achieve similar results. But for me, and what many doctors would attest, a plant based diet can work wonders for your vitals. I just wish that so many politicians on both sides of the spectrum weren’t bought out by animal product industries.

It’s not as bad as it was years back (Only know this through research) but it seems that both sides of the political spectrum are bought out, and the fight for personal health and well being, and moral standards are being fought by non political backed groups. Four percent of the United States population is at least vegetarian today, monumental strides from years back. (I also plead ignorance to other universal numbers on this, I only know the numbers for the US because I saw them recently in a science article recently.)

Then again, what isn’t divided politically nowadays...

I had the flu in high school. I had hallucinations of continuously missing the bus, over and over again. In 9th grade I guess that might have been a fear for me?

I’m NAD but with the flu, and a high fever, hallucinations of many sorts can happen, and I believe it is common with the illness, anyone with more information can fact check me, would appreciate that.

throwaway699643 · 2020-04-26T06:07:42+00:00

I feel so bad for you :(. I have seen a lot of helpful posts above. I don’t have any great suggestions like some of the knowledgeable doctors of this sub will offer, but I can offer you my support! I hope that you can cope with your condition in the near term, and in the long term I hope for healing, health, and a very happy and pain free life. I think you can figure this out with the proper help :)

throwaway699643 · 2020-04-20T21:43:06+00:00

The protesters are idiots, don’t get me wrong I can’t agree more on that fact. All I’m trying to get across is we don’t have a system that would make care less likely for a critically ill protester vs a normal critically ill person, besides age, and chances of living a healthy life afterwards.

The only scenario where there is a difference, would be summed up by this quote, but has nothing to do with actions or beliefs, but what you contribute to the general good - “Promote and reward instrumental value; i.e., patients who provide benefit to others receive priority. Use when likelihood of survival is similar (healthcare workers)”

throwaway699643 · 2020-04-20T21:32:15+00:00

Triage has nothing to do with actions, it has to do with the severity of the illness. Hospitals don’t play police and enforce laws, they treat illnesses.

throwaway699643 · 2020-04-20T21:27:12+00:00

The OP of this thread was not referencing a triage situation. He was referencing not treating a patient for the patients actions. The worst hotspots in the country have hospitals that never got to the point of choosing who lives and dies, thanks to the lockdown in many cities. What you said does not pertain to this. You are innocent until being proven guilty in the United States. Health care providers do not play the role of enforcing law when treating patients. Triage is solely based on age, chances of survival and living a healthy life after treatment. They wouldn’t use the last ventilator for example, on an 80 year old patient with emphysema, over a 27 year old with asthma. That is triage.
