If you've been following my blog, you know that we just went through hip replacement surgery for my girlfriend, Suziema.
We had a talk this morning, and brought up all the things she went through before getting down to the actual medical remedy. She was in increasing pain for the past 3 years or so, and had a harder and harder time getting around. I implored her to go to a real doctor, but she kept putting it off, going through acupuncture, massage therapists, and going to the chiropractor. The chiropractor even took x-rays, though Suziema claims she saw a zipper where her pants were, when she wore zipperless pants when they took the picture. I'm giving the chiro the benefit of the doubt, considering faulty memory.
But here's a guy, taking money for medical advice and procedures who talked all about sciatica, and spinal adjustment, and took money for x-rays, and never looked at her deteriorating hip bone (a family trait). Years of therapy, continued pain, and nothing near examining what the ACTUAL problem was.
These guys even get money from Medicare, and Medicaid. All while offering advice and treatment they claim expertise in. I'm thinking lawsuit. Fraud, malpractice, impersonating a medical doctor, pain and suffering. Suziema is thinking "live and learn". The whole time through this, I deferred to her wishes, and kept thinking it was all BS. But now, I'm pissed.
