Ozz81 posted:No airbag deployment at all in that case, messed up my upper back and neck pretty good (spent 3 weeks, 3 days a week at a chiropractor getting straightened out once I confirmed no bones were broken). It probably would have gone much faster if you'd gone to an actual medical professional like a physical therapist instead of a purveyor of quackery and pseudoscience. Chiropractic is not a science and definitely should not be confused for "back doctor".

This was after going to the ER, being put in a collar for an X-ray, getting confirmation that nothing was broken...but the chiropractor took another X-ray before doing any work on my neck/back and saw that a few of my vertebrae were twisted like a goddamn corkscrew. Looking at my neck from the side profile, the curve that was supposed to face forward was almost facing the opposite direction, and somehow the magnificent ER doctors completely missed this  All I got from the "medical professionals" was a couple prescriptions, one for 800Mg Ibuprofen and another for Vicodin. I'll trust the "quack" doctor that actually straightened my neck out and made the pain go away (negating any need for pain killers after that) and paid attention to the glaring, swollen lump on the right side of my neck.

While I sat home in a half cast in agony any time I moved my arm and didn't have it in a sling. Point still stands regardless, ending derail.

Next time you are forced into that hospital, maybe call your primary care and get checked out after the ER. That's what you're supposed to do. ER is for immediate treatment, then call your doc once it's not an emergency anymore. GutBomb fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Mar 16, 2015 |

That's what you're supposed to do. ER is for immediate treatment, then call your doc once it's not an emergency anymore. "Which hospital do you want?" "Which hospital is closer?" "Kaiser." "gently caress that take me to Marin General." At least that's what I wish my response was after Kaiser nearly killed me. The level of idiocy and incompetence at hospitals can be staggering here in the US, and I can't say I blame him for going that direction. Not that chiropracty is real medicine or anything but after being in a hospital for 3 days that missed a life-threatening embolism that my GP caught over the phone I can see why people come to distrust the medical profession. Some are just known for their incompetence, and I learned about that when my GP expressed surprise with the assumption that I'd gone to the good hospital. Hearing my family doctor say "never go back to Kaiser under any circumstances" was a little jarring.

Yeah, my friend had a really mixed experience with a hospital in Hawaii. I forget which one, but he ran his motorcycle straight into the side of an el camino (camino's fault, it couldn't have done anything more wrong in the situation). Shattered his foot. They were on the big island, so after they stabilized him they had to airlift him to Oahu. The surgeons there reconstructed his foot basically from where the steel toe ended to the heel, but not before suggesting and getting ready to immediately start on amputating above the knee. His shin and knee were fine aside from road rash. A sister of one of his co-workers went to the same hospital once, and she now lives in one of the nicest developments on the big island from a malpractice suit when they amputated unnecessarily. Then there was the time that I had surgery, and got put on percocets. They told me not to drink alcohol while taking them, which I knew. What they didn't tell me (and I only found out after the fact from aforementioned friend) is apparently you're suppose to wait 2-3 days after you stop taking them. Which is kind of important. I'm just lucky that for me, drinking is having one beer. I know that sounds like me being stupid, but I have no experience with opiates whatsoever, aside from having my wisdom teeth taken out. I figured that they would have warned me about anything like that.

There was a guy rolling around locally with a few steel porch doors bolted to his Explorer a few years back. I don't know what made him take them off but I still see him driving the now unarmored SUV around town.

If BMW gave me a free M3/M4 to test I wouldn't make it all the way through a tank of gas before I'd be calling them for new rear tires. What's The "Real" Tire Mileage of the BMW M4??? The Answer May Surprise You (clicks on clickbait) "About 10 km"

For all the scientific prowess, wouldn't all that equipment change the drag profile of something like an M3 pretty significantly? The weight has to be at least equal to another adult passenger as well. Of course they need to measure it somehow and sensitive measuring equipment takes up space, but there has to be a serious difference when strapping all that crap on an M3 and hopping on the interstate.
