A week later, I met up with her and noticed she was having trouble breathing. Literally, gasping for air. I asked her how long she had this, and she told me not to worry. She had another chiropractor appointment the next day. Then, I asked. Were you feeling this way when you first went to the chiropractor? She said yes. Infuriated, I drove her to the emergency room. She was quickly placed into a wheel chair and given oxygen She quickly learned she had pneumonia and was near death.

It is not so much that a chiropractor does what he!she does. It is the erroneous belief that many people have about them. They ARE NOT TRUE medical doctors. No matter how many times they adjust or crack your body, they are unable to help you if, in fact, like my friend, you are near death. In her case, the chiropractor didn't even notice it. Yet, with my amateur eye, I could see that she was in serious condition..

I have never been to a chiropractor. Do they post on their walls a huge sign of what they are licensed to do and what they cannot/willnot do? I asked my friend if she saw something like that in the office of that chiropractor. She stated an emphatic no. People should be informed of what a chiropractor can and can not do. If any of them are like the chiropractor my friend visited, they should be held accountable. Yet, they are not. In the end, my friend was told it was her choice to go there instead of a hospital. No foul done by the chiropractor. I know your question wasnt directed to me. But, I for one, am not a fan of chiropractors and have no plans of going to one, EVER!

Have you ever seen that at a medical doctor's office?
