Thanks but I must disagree. Will you come with me awhile and let's look for the bigger fish here before pointing the finger? Are you aware that for the poor, as I sadly came to find out, the injury attorney is in charge? Just like a coach who calls the plays and decides which players to put on the field, the atty decides on which doctor chiro surgeon etc to send the victim to. The injury lawyer sent me to a chiropractor who has apparently been in business a long time. Let me ask you: of all those stories you've heard of injury and paralysis by chiropractors...how many of them resulted from car accidents or other cases where the victim is 'sent' to the chiropractor as opposed to 'choosing' them? I have met many over these past years who were car accident victims and at least anecdotally it seems like I am not much of an edge case in this specific regard. I am not trying to argue with you. I guess I am thinking about what you said and I am trying to point out that mere cash payments to homeless are pointless if there are not other changes to these systemic frauds that exploit the poor, the weak, the homeless.

I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. Chiropractic is a scam and I'm sorry that it has such an impact on the poor. I'd call this an obvious systemic societal problem that we do this. Car wreck injuries should be met with a physical therapist at the very least, and no less.

I'm not sure I follow. The parent commenter isn't pointing any fingers or saying it's your fault that you were sent to a chiropractor. Simply that it's a bad idea to go to one in general if you do have a choice.

  But I didnt have a choice so this repetitive noise about chiropractors did an excellent job of drowning my signal about homeless and payments. Do you see how vigorously he is pushing this view against chiropractors and he is pushing it here in my comments?

    You don't own this comment section, and I'm not making it harder for you to post by sharing my thoughts. The internet is big enough for the two of us.

    If we spread the word about chiropractic being a scam, perhaps it will deter attorneys from subjecting people to such treatments and thus save someone in a similar position as you were from a future permanent injury.
