What this amounts to in the us is regular old medical school plus some extra classes in the magic fingers nonsense the guy who founded osteopathy was obsessed with. Most DOs know it's bullshit, it's just a hoop they have to jump through. They can apply to any postgraduate residency that traditional MDs can. Source: I am an MD (in an extremely technical specialty with no possible application for that stuff) and work with a number of DOs.

In the United States, Osteopathy means you take all the medical classes with some extra classes about bones. It's basically a way to get more doctors in our hosed up medical system.

I could be baaaaadly misremembering though. My point is: Osteopaths are not chiropractors.

Nah

Well, it's complicated, and like a lot of complicated things in the midwest, religion is to blame

Osteopathic medicine in the united states is considered a legitimate field of medicine, if only because it has the same licensing and educational requirements. You have to go through med school to become a doctor of osteopathic medicine. Osteopathy is, itself, woo as hell but DOs have all the legitimate medical training they need to act as a real doctor. Well, in theory, haha!

You see, Osteopathic medicine programs are really popular in religious communities, to the point where a lot of religious universities in the midwest offer the programs exclusively, and I understand the programs at these schools are not quite as difficult to get through as more traditional MD programs, (which attracts a lot of students, for obvious reasons) so if you're in the part of the country where Osteopaths live, they're just about all you're going to see when you're looking for a doctor. In Oklahoma, more than half the doctors I've ever been to were DOs. Most of the MDs I've been to have come in from out of the state.

I understand it's pretty rare for an Osteopathic doctor to want to do adjustments or in may cases to even know how to do them after they leave school. Seems to just be a shortcut for a lot of people.

I wasn't clear. I meant that Orthos are typically the "bone doctors". "Osteo" is the woo stuff about "whole body balance" and "re-aligning the body's natural healing" that's tacked on to the more legitimate MD.

Yes, but the person you were talking to was specifically referring to the practice of Osteopathic Medicine as it pertains to the United States, where Doctors of Osteopathy are not, in fact, Dr. Mario, and are more like mediocre regular doctors who have a half dozen credit hours of magic grabby hand training

I used to see a chiro that was basically a physiotherapist, but we just called him a chiropractor.

I think I have an unreasonably rosy view of chiros based on him since he sussed out immediately I had a pinched sciatic nerve when podiatrists were like 'I think you have a bone fracture IDK'

DA refusing to prosecute druge dealer who tried to sell drugs to my son and recruit him into a gang.

quote:

My son is a good kid and was never involved in any illlegal activty, we live in a good neighbour hood away from all the gangs and my son goes to a good private school which I pay a poo poo-ton of money for , my son was struggling through class and met somebody called BOB.

Bob was a harden 17-year old kingpin drug dealer that was a sub-boss for a major gang, he saw an oppurinty to expand outside of the hood by recruiting my son and offered him drugs and money in exchange for joining the gang. My son was smart enough not take him up on the offer and instead told me about it, I immeditaly reported him to the police who proimsed me they would look into it.

It's been about a month and bob is still out free and when I contact the police they told me that the DA refused to prosecute, after contant the DA office they told me there isn't enough evidence and they have bigger fish to fry in the least civil way possible. This is absoulte BS as everybody knows he's a drug dealer and a gang member.

DO I have any legal remidies against my DA's Laziness ? Can I privatley prosecute him using my own lawyer ?

You don't have a way to force the DA to prosecute anyone. Only the DA can prosecute someone. Private citizens have no way to bring a criminal case. If you had damages you could sue him civilly, but you have no damages. 'Everyone knows' is not going to get a conviction in court as it's not going to prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt.

quote:

Why not ? Can't I sue him for corruption of youth and other offense, the rehab money and lawyer would be my damages ?

Isn't testimony admissible evidence and couldn't they just send 1 plain clothe police officer to ask him for drug and get the footage via a body camer ?

No. You still have no damages. You can't sue someone and argue your lawyer's fees are damages. You need to have actual damages from the incident you are suing about. Lawyer fees alone do not constitute damages. If there were other damages you could ask for lawyer fees to be covered as well, but you don't have damages to begin with. Rehab money? You said that your son isn't doing drugs so why would he need rehab?

The police would need to actually attempt to set up an undercover buy and they may not have the resources or desire to attempt to catch him in the act. If you think that all it takes to build a case is one officer who makes a buy alone with a camera you are hugely mistaken.


quote:

not Rehab Counselling and academic tution caused from poor grades due to stress from Bob's presence .

What more could be needed than a video of bob selling drugs ?

For starters you would need evidence that his actions were a proximate cause of the losses, that's going to be impossible. You kid made the decisions, he didn't have a gun to his head, he was influenced, but he did it. You have no case.

quote:

can't I show a graph of the grade before bob compared to grades after bob, Invoices of tution fee and have my son testify ?

That’s not how any of this works. You can’t do any of that. Your sons mental issues related to counseling and “corruption” of his youth are things you need to deal with.

quote:

But without bob I wouldn't have had to spend the money meaning he caused me to loose money QED I have damages

You can vote for or campaign for a new DA in the next election cycle. You can even go to law school and run for the position yourself.

quote:

Can a DA be Impeached ?


No you cannot bring criminal charges as a private citizen, that's within the discretion of the DA. You cannot make him or her do anything that they don't want to. If it's an elected position vote for someone else next time.

Some chiros in the US will do various physical therapy exercises during their sessions in addition to the back cracking. Thing is, while the procedures they are doing are empirically valid, they haven't undergone any actual physical therapy training to do them, so your mileage may vary. You're better off seeing an actual trained professional.

My [21M] girlfriend [25F] of ten months found me watching porn.

quote:

Our relationship has been the best thing that has ever happened to either of us. Before she was with me she had a boyfriend that treated her like poo poo every day. Her self-esteem was destroyed after him. We fell in love and started spending all of our time together. She is the most beautiful woman I've ever met. I never saw myself as much of a catch, but she made me feel like I was worth the world to her. I gave her everything I could. I made her happier than she had ever been. We had sex everyday, and it was amazing. We really had an amazing life together. I was planning to move in with her at the end of the month. I already pretty much lived there. We had started moving my stuff in and planning our life together. Before I was with her I had no one. She was my first everything. My only sexual release was jacking off to porn. Once we started seeing each other I had no need to DIY. She came down with the flu this week. We were still having sex even though she felt horrible. On our day off I told her to sleep all day and not to worry about anything. I made her breakfast and ate with her in bed. I told her I would take care of all the chores so she could sleep. I cleaned everything up and laid down on the couch to watch TV. It was one of the first times I'd been by myself since we were together. We did everything together, and I loved every minute of it. Anyway I'm sitting there for a while with the TV on browsing Reddit. I got the idea to rub one out for old times sake. I pull up some porn and got to work. Next thing I know she walks up behind the couch and is just starring at me.

I couldn't tell what she was thinking. She wouldn't say anything for a few hours. Just kept telling me I should go. I'm thinking she's over reacting at this point. Every guy does this, she has to know that. She laid in bed the rest of the day and wouldn't talk to me. She wouldn't even look at me. I made her lunch and left it on her night stand. I didn't know what to say to her. She tells me I should go back to my place for the night. We haven't had a night apart in months. I go home and she starts texting me that she doesn't think she can be with someone who needs to get off to other girls. That I really hosed with her self esteem and her feelings. She said she feels like I cheated on her. She feels unsatisfactory and is reevaluating our entire relationship. She's telling me to come get my poo poo and leave. I tried to tell her that I don't need porn, but she won't hear it. I made her feel worthless and I don't know if I can live with myself for it. tl;dr love of my life wants me gone because I masturbated to porn

Me [21 F] with my bf [24 M] have messed up by adding a third person

quote:

Boyfriend and I have been going out for little over 2 years now (which to put in perspective is the longest relationship I’ve ever had to date). When we first started going out, he was not too keen to be in a relationship, it was mostly sexual. Even though we agreed to be exclusive, I made the mistake of doing things with other people which escalated to him finding out, arguing with me, but then forgiving me. It took a month or two but we ended up being as close as best friends- did a ton of stuff together, always calling or texting, and I did family functions with him. However, things seemed to change gradually over time (which is to be expected of course). Some way or another it was found out that he actually found my prior cheating on him to be a huge turn on. He told me he’d like to see me have “relations” with others and film myself while doing so. Although it wasn’t something that I was terribly comfortable with I did it anyways as he was pretty much my best friend and I liked making him happy. It was fine and I didn’t really like any of the people I was having “relations” with so I would always talk trash about the experience and the people hoping to curb it maybe, plus he never did anything with anyone else so it felt weird. I saw he was using Tinder though and told him to try it with someone and he did and was more excited about it as he filmed very long videos and such in comparison to mine and just kept bringing it up. I felt weird about the whole thing but I still loved him. We were still pretty close and eventually I told him to stop using the Tinder as I had stopped doing stuff with other people and he always vowed that he would stop and never did- which was very alarming to me. I just kept moving on with my life and ignoring it though and then he moved out of town. It wasn’t far, however, I’m not comfortable (and neither was my family) with me driving in a large city I hadn’t been to (much less drove in). So we grew a tad further apart as I could only really see him on the weekends and he always made comments about how he always drove to see me but never me to him. It made me frustrated but I felt he was right and so I felt guilty nearly every time he came and saw me.

Fast forward to now: Since we still continued having sex with others and filming it and I had gotten lonely at uni, I decided to get Tinder again and see people in my area. There was one particular person I had matched with that I seemed to be attracted to so I told my boyfriend about it and was given the a-ok. He was an international student and the first time we met up we spent the whole night awake, watching TV, drinking, and just chatting. We did end up having sex but not until the sun had already risen and I didn’t even film it for my boyfriend. The next few days I spent with this “lover”, meanwhile, only getting one video for my boyfriend who was continuously more livid and anxious that I liked this guy more than him and angry I couldn’t film anything. But I could film stuff- I just had a different feeling like I shouldn’t be filming my sexual encounters with this one and I told my boyfriend that but it made him more upset. Nearly a week has now passed with this student and I feel like I’d consider him a good friend, even though I do admit everything is rushed.

I don’t want a relationship with this other person, as he goes back to his country in a year. However, it is concerning that I developed such emotional and sensual connection with someone when I have a boyfriend (something that hadn’t even happened when I cheated on him so long ago or for any of the people I had filmed with). I feel that I should possibly break off my relationship but I feel that he is also my best friend who has invested so much time, money, and emotions with me that it would be not only extremely hard on him but would be extremely depressing for me (especially since he knows about this boy and has been telling me to tell him I love you more and tell him that I would not break up with him). I have also not been single in such a long time that I feel it would throw me into a deep rut where I would just want to veg and not attend to my responsibilities. My question is should I breakup with my boyfriend and/or stop talking to this other person?

tl;dr: Allowed an open relationship, developed feelings for another, now boyfriend feels threatened

Also what the gently caress is wrong with you why were you just jerking off on the couch in the middle of the room, go somewhere else you weird gently caress.
