I’d rather be ignored than have the doctor actively harm me based on woo woo bullshit.

In my experience 80% of chiropractors are woo idiots or just want you to come in twice a week for an adjustment indefinitely. These are the guys that will paralyze you by loving up a neck adjustment. The other 20% know how your bones are supposed to fit together, and why your muscles are in extreme pain when they don't. They mix massage therapy, physical therapy, radiology, and other specialists to figure out why you're in pain and fix it.

If the NFL hired the 1 in 5, the players are in good hands. If not, and this is far, far more likely, it's wasted effort at best.

I have a good anesthesiologist story.

I was referred for spinal injections. Two nerve blocks to shut down chronic pain and a cortisone shot in a major muscle group so my shoulder can be put back in place. I go in, get changed into a surgical gown, and they set me up on a table with a stent in one hand. The doctor doing the injections comes by, gives me the spiel, and goes away. I remember lying there for a bit, then a nurse gets me up and takes me back to the recovery area. I remember thinking "if they aren't going to do the procedure, shouldn't someone say something?" I lie there for about ten minutes, watching the interplay of light and shadow and people walking by. Then I think, "if someone isn't going to do the procedure, shouldn't OOOOHHHH".

The anesthesiologist put me down and brought me back up so cleanly I didn't notice the interruption in consciousness. Mad respect for whoever was attending on my case, that was slick as whale snot.
