Meanwhile this was what various medical professionals in that reddit thread had to say about it.

As an active spiritist, D. D. Palmer said he "received chiropractic from the other world" from a deceased physician named Dr. Jim Atkinson. "The knowledge and philosophy given me by Dr. Jim Atkinson, an intelligent spiritual being, together with explanations of phenomena, principles resolved from causes, effects, powers, laws and utility, appealed to my reason. The method by which I obtained an explanation of certain physical phenomena, from an intelligence in the spiritual world, is known in biblical language as inspiration. In a great measure The Chiropractor's Adjuster was written under such spiritual promptings."

A bad chiropractor is a killer. A great chiropractor is really basically just a mediocre physical therapist.

[transcript:

#one of my coworkers is going to school to be a chiropractor #and he temporarily paralyzed someone and just kinda shrugged it off as part of the learning process #i was like ‘why on earth do you want to do this’ and he was like ‘i love it :)'

[ID: reddit comment thread that goes as follows:

u/etherealwasp:

Don't forget neurosurgeons and anesthesiologists! Source: am anesthesiologist, have had several patients come straight for emergency neurosurgery after chiro adjustments

u/asdgrhm:

Don't forget ER docs! (Source: am ER doc. We have sections on common chiropractor injuries in our textbooks)

u/DiscourseDM

Just posted further up. Imaging tech here. Done numerous CTS and mris on patients via er post chiro "adjustment" 'does your neck hurt?' Not even a bit in fact I can't feel anything below my shoulders…. Or move anything below my shoulders. Thank God for my chiropractor!

Go to your doctor, tell them xyz pain is affecting your ability to complete activities of daily living (ADLs) (if you use this term, doctors will take it more seriously, then describe how the pain prevents you from doing proper hygiene, doing your normal work at work or school, or doing chores) and get a referral to a PT. I promise it will be miles better than a chiropractor because they aren’t trying to minimize immediate pain but help resolve/reduce long term pain and muscle issues.

Waymo’s ad with the intro “the robots are coming!” mocking people who are rightfully extremely concerned about sharing the road with, or riding in, self-driving cars.
