Sitting in the waiting room of a chiropractor's office for my girlfriend's appointment. This was her choice, not mine, and I am supportive.

Full disclosure; I do not think chiropractors are real doctors. I think this is pseudoscience garbage, and am fully prepared to cuss out that old quack if he hurts my girlfriend. 😐

Overheard just now,

Random lady: "I need some a them relaxin' pills again. They freakin' work!"

Receptionist: "I know! and they're organic."

Random lady: "Better than them drugs."

Receptionist: "You'd think they'd pay for those, the insurance, you know?"

Random lady: "Oh, I know. But it's not... federally..."

She just trailed off. Oh god, they're not federally what? Where did she take them relaxin' pills?!!

This place just got real sketch. I don't trust anyone here. Especially the receptionist.

Okay she's checking out, paying her copay, and the receptionist has no idea whether the insurance will actually cover the visit or not. Said if not, we'll just send you a statement. And she's supposed to come back in Friday. Another visit that may or may not be covered. 😐 Suspicion grows.

No, I'm not here to argue with anyone about whether Chiropractors are actual doctors or not. Google it.

@Alterici my first and only visit to a chiropractor involved them taking an x ray of my spine to show me how much work I needed. The x ray wasn’t covered.

@FarthingRoad Ugh, girlfriend got x-rays. Hope there's no surprise bill. :(

@Alterici it’s usually only like $75, but it feels a bit like a sucker punch.

@kelmcdonald *relaxin'*. That's the scientific name, I'm sure.
