[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 91928, member: 1233"] I am very upset. My mom told me about a medical practice that treated my exSIL after her car wreck. I called the number for the practice. I asked what they treated, what type or types of doctors they had in the practice and what certifications the doctors had. I was very specific in what I needed. Today husband drove me to the doctor. The ONLY doctor they have is a chiropractor. He tried to insist that I needed new Xrays on his machine, as it is so new and wonderful. The Xrays I have are less than a month old and I also had my MRI's with me. I had BOTH the Xray films and MRI films with me. He seemed dazed or stoned. Kept asking if I had ever had surgery on my spine. I gave him the same answer 4 times. Then I told him to read the chart. He did not look at my films, he called the desk to have them make an appointment on a different day with another doctor. At no point was I asked if I wanted this appointment. Then he said ABC would be in to give me some therapy, just "sit tight". I asked what type of therapy. He said to just lie there and let her do the work. I asked what she would be doing. He left. I looked around the room for a few minutes and thought about things. I remembered talking with ABC before he came in - she is still getting her Associates degree, and from what he said she would not be supervised during the "therapy". Then I saw a brochure about psychiatric disorders and chiropractic. It claimed that they have a 75% CURE rate for autism and bipolar disorders, even higher in children with these - all through spinal manipulation!!!! I got up, got my films and purse, and left. We did pay the $40 copay, but I will be asking for that back. I am going to have the steroid injection and then see what we see. ARRRRGGGGGHHHH! Chiropractic can do a lot, but it is not a cure-all miracle. And people who will mess with my poor neck right now need to KNOW what they are doing. Thanks for letting me vent. Susie [/QUOTE]
