      Shit, I have back pain a lot less severe than this fella and my primary care straight up referred me to an MRI at my first appointment, which wasn’t even primarily about my back. Doctors should have to maintain an empathy license.

      I was actually x-rayed at the hospital after the initial accident, but they did so while I was lying down. The chiropractor x-rayed me while I was standing.

      Hospital even told me that they don’t catch much of the muscular-skeletal issues that may crop up in patients.
