Well why didn't you say he had previously broken a collar bone?

Still, if you are the same one who takes her kids to the chiro when then
have a cold coming on or after imunizations you are a fool. The chiro was
lucky to actually do something that helped, now you've been sucked into the
vortex of idiocy. He/she has figured you as a fat mark, and will now try to
treat you and anyone you know. Just wait until he/she offers to treat your
menopause!

Red Flag:
The treatment(s) will require 3 visits a week for 6 weeks (or something like
that).
