Chiropractor Stroke

Yesterday I finally got to be seen by a doctor for the first time since I got rear-ended by a 17 year old just days before leaving Seattle. My car got fixed faster than this Char! He was able to take x-rays and everything looks good - there is definitely tension there and I will go in again on Wednesday. The best part though is that my chiropractor has an agent contact that he can give my headshot/resume to - this town is hilarious! Everybody's connected to show business! The funniest part came when I was laying face down on the table with some electric therapy patches attached to my shoulders and I overheard the following on the television in the waiting room:

(Random News Channel)

Announcer: A man suffers a stroke after chiropractic adjustments. Are chiropractics related to strokes? Tune in at eleven to find out...

I'm not even kidding.

LESSON OF THE DAY: Don't have fear-mongering news channels playing on the TV at your place of business. Inevitably they will at some point feature a story trying to kill your business.

  1. Unless you *are* a fear-mongering news channel. In which case, you probably won't cover your own problems, so you're golden. :)

  2. That is so funny- a similar thing happened to me with the dentist. I was in my car, driving to my appointment when the radio announces, "Tonight, on the 5pm News: Why Going to the Dentist Could Kill You..." Literally, that was the tagline I heard as I pulled up to the dentist's office!!!
