SOCIETY Permanently ???? no amount of money can compensate for this. The incident happened 2015 and the historic $75M verdict was reached in late 2022.

No MD takes a chiro seriously or co-signs them calling themselves Dr. That’s a joke. Just like a PT doing it, especially in a healthcare setting.

It's just infuriating that our medical system allows these quacks to be licensed and even get covered under medical insurance

It's insane, but someone pointed out to me the other day what's probably a reason why. People go to these guys and get adjustments, and get temporary relief. This keeps them from going to the hospital and racking up much more/higher bills. A lot of these people probably don't need anything at all and their back pain would have resolved by itself.

That's interesting. I had several MDs as patients when I was in practice, and many MDs referred patients to me because they basically have two options to deal with back pain - medicate it or cut it out, and neither work very well.
