DM #502: Today I saw a clinician being a piece of ?. I ranted. @ldbeale sent me this and I thought it was pure gold.

Enough with the imaging! I’m gonna say it. Just stop. Yes, yes, yes, lemme be PC and walk on eggshells for all the trolls and what-if-ers out there and say I KNOW THERE’S A FREAKING TIME AND PLACE FOR IMAGING. But honestly, that time ain’t now. It’s not first line. Use. Your. Brain.

I’m so sick and tired of trying to stay neutral and not offend anyone with what I say and what I post, meanwhile we have straight up quacks out there x-raying and imagining anyone who walks through their door, saying that their bullshit magical passive treatment will put this back in, align that, get rid of that problem, cure cancer, end world hunger, and all for the low price of 5000 bucks. GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!

When, ever, has a passive intervention restored full active functionality of any human?! Name one time. When it comes to physical ailments, surgery, medications…they cure and symptoms, that’s it. You want to restore function? Get back to full functionality? Actually get shit to stay away? You gotta move. You gotta be active. Plain and simple.
—
You want to find an issue? Go get imaging. If you’re alive, it’s gonna show something. You want to actually help someone? Talk to them. Look at them. Watch them move. Ask them questions. Listen. Treat the damn person in front of you. I feel like this should be common sense…but apparently common sense ain’t common. And no, this isn’t a rant against chiros. I have NOTHING against chiros. I hate EVERYTHING about bad providers. PT, DC, LMT, RN, ATC, OT, CPT, whatever. Do better.
—
I’m gonna end this before I fire myself up again. But let’s cut the crap, can we? Our patients deserve better. Treat like you give a fuck.
