You think thats fucked?
My idiot father was convinced that my puberty growing pains were signs of rheumatoid arthritis, a condition that essentially never develops in anyone younger than 45, and forced me to get a spinal tap.
I was at the age where he couldnt help me with my math homework anymore. You know, algebra, waaay too complicated for this drunk bozo that mainlined Rush Limbaugh at all times while in a vehicle.
Any way they fucked up the spinal tap and I've had spinal and other nervous system problems ever since, and obviously no I did not have arthritis.
Alll he had to do was just listen to me and give me ibuprofen. Nope, kid can't be right, must be some insane bullshit instead. Oh that didn't work? Send him to a chiropractor and fuck him up more!
I am unironically going to piss on his grave and take a sledgehammer to the tombstone when he croaks.
You know your dad sounds like a nuclear dumbass, but what fucking quack agreed to giving you a spinal tap?
sp3tr4l is lucky not to be paralyzed.
You know I always thought chiropractors where just doctors that specialized in spinal injury/back pain. You know, like guy who gives you a back brace to deal with scoliosis or whatever.
Didn't realize it was some weird pseudoscience thing.
Nope they're literally just random fucking people who try to rip your head off then say they cured your deteriorating joints.
Yeah the origins of chiropracty seem to be in the late 1800s or early 1900s, basically one of the few offshoots of 'vitalism' that still remains quite prevalent.
There is no conclusive evidence that it really works at all, and there are a significant number of injuries that it has caused, as you can basically get a Doctor of Chiropracty from, at worst, a diploma mill, and at best, roughly the equivalent of getting a 'degree' in homeopathy or reiki, after maybe a few months of instruction.
