So My son played ball with this kid,who for the sake of anonymity I'll call Leo.
Leo is an outstanding athlete....basketball,Football and Baseball.He went to the national "Punt,Pass and kick" competition held at the Rose bowl in Pasadena,Ca. and wins it at age 9,in the 9/10 year old age group.
Leo is one of my best pitchers on the youth team I coach.Between him and my son,they rarely give up more than 2 runs per game.He's never played much ball,but he is conscientious,attentive,and quickly rises to the top echelon of a very difficult position.
Than,he starts to complain about back pain.He has woken up in acute spasms in the middle of the night,and been rushed to the emergency room.They blame it on Baseball and football.
I ask his Mom what was going on at the time,and from doing some careful prying,I find out that Dad hasn't been coming home at night....he disappears for a couple of days at a time.He's a big wheel in the entertainment industry,and Hey??? A guys got to do what a guys got to do,right?
Meanwhile,she takes him to the chiro(aka SATAN)and they decide that Leo has a bad back...I mentioned Sarno and delicately implied that the family inconsistency might have something to do with it,but who the F am I,right?
So.....it comes out that Daddy has been having a couple of flings,has been dousing a couple of eightballs a night and he checks into Betty Ford.Leo's pain becomes unbearable and he has to drop out of all sports...age 11.
The family moves away to 'solve' their problems and I don't hear anymore about them...until today.
The guy I used to coach ball with in Ca. tells me that Leo is in the hospital recovering from Back surgery at the ripe old age of 12!!
A kid who probably had a promising career as an athlete is DONE!finished,OUT!
So....everybody from the chiro string...you know,how they're mistakenly perceived as a sort of a neutral force,neither malign nor benign...WRONG.The first 'medical' person who evaluated him was a chiro...the Surgeons just took over after the chiro's decided it was 'structural' and was beyond the scope of their ability to correct....I suppose his "subluxations" were substantial enough to be beyond 'manipulation''s abilty.
See...if some misinformed IDIOT had bothered to ask what was going on in the kids life they might have actually been able to HELP him...instead,because their lame,lying,stupid,placebo didn't work,they passed him along to the Butchers......There is GREED and DECEIT and CULPABILITY here folks.They know in their heart of hearts that they can't fix a light switch,unless you bring the switch in twice a week for the rest of it's life...
This particular one won't be filling their card anymore,as it has been discarded.I hope and pray that somehow,some light is shed into the darkness of this medical mockery.
Shame on them.

That's so horrible. Poor kid. Now they'll always have that stigma of a bad back. And when the back goes out again, lord knows what he'll be told to have done then.

Baseball 65-
Loved your post! Didn't realize it was you writing while I was reading it....until the end! I guess we can all surmise that "chiros" aren't very high on your list! It really is tragic....what people are subjected to in an effort to relieve pain....trusting...lambs to the slaughter! |

Say again? The chiro's failed? You mean they aren't they miracle workers? Well, I'll be jiggered.
And they voluntarily let him out of their clutches? Outrageous. They're a disgrace to the profession racket.
My guess is they made such a mess, the poor kid had no alternative but surgery. |

Wretched, greedy $$$ ^%@!(*& b--tards. It makes me sick to hear that some doc put this innocent young kid under the knife.
I don't tend to pry in others people's business, but if somehow, m y s t e r i o u s l y,,,, the name and address of this doc ended up posted s o m e w h e r e,,,, then maybe this doc might just receieve a handful of strongly worded letters.
God bless you Leo.

Hi guys.....
ACTUALLY...the "Chiro" Lobby is trying to be allowed to have 'primary care' status,like regular physicians...after all,they have ''as much training as any Doctor'',or so lied a Chrio on a website I was just browsing.
I AM trying to find out all I can about who/why/the justification.
I've become interested recently in ANOTHER BS. diagnosis,and that is of ADHD or ADD...Adult Discipline Disorder or Adult Denies Help and Discipline.....
I have been victimized by a parent who qualifies each and every sentence about his son with the caveat .."But you have to understand that having ADHD.blah,blah,blah....."
This effectively means that his child is above reprimand(he's a victim")...funnny...I just thought him an insufferable spoiled brat(as do every other person,child and adult alike who come into contact with him)
interesting link: http://www.adhd-report.com/index.html
You'll see how they came up with Fibro and Myofascitis if you read the metaphor that this man uses about "syndromes"
I almost wrote Doctor Baughman myself
-out

The whole ADHD thing is another travesty against our children. I work with people that have their kids on Ritalin and it just sends me through the roof. I've even provided them literature on how Ritalin can kill, enlarge the heart, etc. and all they have to say is "but he's so manageable now"
We didn't have any of this crap when I was a kid. You acted out, you got disciplined in some manner. I was like most kids, a little hyper at times and inattentive at others. My parents didn't drug me for crying out loud.
