This Viral Thread Has People Listing Things That Are in Fact Way More Dangerous Than Most Think (30 Things) Chiropractors-

I was born with quite severe scoliosis. It was cheaper to go to a Chiropractor than an actual doctor growing up. This has resulted in significant damage to my back. When I finally got in to see a spinal specialist, he mentioned that upwards of 45% of his long term patients were there because of Chiropractors. He told me after reviewing years of my x-rays that the adjustments I was receiving actually made my spine worse than if I were to have not done anything.

It is also pretty common for Chiropractors to break bones. There were a few people that went to my doctor that were paralyzed by a Chiropractor. When I was 16 a Chiropractor did an adjustment that caused one of the disc's in my spine to rupture. I also had my hip dislocated at one point.

So yeah. Chiropractors are not real doctors, and can cause a lot of harm.

My mom made me go to a chiropractor cause she noticed my shoulders are uneven. This guy seemed like a quack to me, but my mom was going to him for adjustments and made me go. It was so scary. Every time he cracked my neck I thought that was going to be it for me. I'm a goner. After a few visits I was feeling very, very sore all the time. Before then, I wasn't sore or achy at all. My mom just didn't like the look of my body (as usual). When I told the chiropractor he said that it was normal and going to get worse before it starts getting better. Are you kidding me?! I just stopped going and eventually started feeling less pain. My shoulders are still uneven but I don't think you're body is supposed to be exactly the same on both sides.

I think the truth is that not all chiropractors are the same. And where they went to school can make a huge difference. The ones that put you flat on your stomach and do the push/twist 3 times a week for $400 shouldn't be allowed to call themselves chiropractors. The ones who work more like physical therapists, understand muscle work and physiology, and send you home with exercises to do - that's a whole different ball game. Those chiropractors can preserve people's quality of life and prevent unnecessary surgery. The problem is - it can be VERY hard to tell the difference.

Medical study done by Prof Edzard Ernst, (now retd, but was Professor of comparative medicine ) comparing physio, osteopathy and chiropraxis for back problems. To sum up - if you had physio, you were likely to be off work for fewer days than if you had no treatment. (If you had acupuncture at the same time, this was likely to be further reduced) With osteopathy, you were likely to be off for about the same amount of time (as no treatment) but felt good about helping yourself. If you had chiropraxis, you were likely to be off for longer and death was not unknown. The NHS accepted his recommendations that acupuncture should be offered with physio wherever possible/appropriate.

This is why you have to research them and use common sense. If they're twisting you like a pretzel and applying a dangerous amount of force... usually a bad sign. Mine is able to use a few gentle taps and twists to very precisely move problem areas back into place and fix pain I'm unable to correct myself. My docs have never said anything concerning about the results. Research the person you go to and don't rely on dramatic back cracking. Gentle movements and slight adjustments are adequate for most situations. Sounds like yours should have even dealt with it in small steps over multiple sessions.

Yep.

Spoiler alert: don't store raw chicken above the salad you plan to serve with it. Those juices can drip down and contaminate everything.

This Viral Thread Has People Listing Things That Are in Fact Way More Dangerous Than Most Think (30 Things) Ever since I did WHMIS training, I've gotten extremely paranoid around reading chemical safety labels. The training showed a foreign worker essentially making chlorine gas by accident in a dry cleaners and almost killing everyone in the building (and actually killing herself). Everyone who was exposed had permanent damage.

There was a welder who didn't realize the chemical his work gave him had fumes that would burn off his eyes and face after just one use without face and eye protection. It costed him his marriage and his entire future. In the video he said he didn't even blame her as there was no hope for him and he didn't want to burden his then young wife with having to look after someone completely broken.

And I think there was a driveway sealant part-timer who was a high schooler or something. They didn't give him any safety gear and he got cancer applying the sealant like how they told him to do it

I don't think I ever watched such horrific true events presented in such a dry and boring manner. And they kept interviewing the people about how their life was after the fact and what could have been done differently and it was just scarring.

It's such a simple thing to just trust your job to check chemical safety for you but goddamn, if they didn't you can be royally f****d. I can't imagine just opening a barrel of something my boss told me to open and literally having my corneas burned out of my face. I also switched out many of my cleaners and detergents in my home to safer options wherever I could. Even something like ice melt I check to see for warning and safety labels.

This Viral Thread Has People Listing Things That Are in Fact Way More Dangerous Than Most Think (30 Things) Falling down. I know there are jokes about the whole "I've fallen and I can't get up!" But it's a real danger. As we get older, our bones lose density and strength, so falling can actually cause legitimate injuries.

And even if you're not old, unprotected falls are still dangerous. Street fights where people get knocked out and fall onto concrete is super dangerous. It doesn't take a lot of height to cause serious damage when falling and hitting your head.

A doorman in my city threw a chap out of the bar. The guy tripped, banged his head on the kerb and died. The doorman actually got sent down for killing him, even though he was only doing his job. It was a tragedy whichever way you look at it, and there was a big campaign to free the doorman, but I think he served the full sentence.

Overworking yourself.

anupsetzombie replied:
I had a coworker at my last job who just didn't have an off button and definitely didn't know how to say no to people in charge. He was always agreeing to overtime (working from 7AM to 8 PM 6 days a week) and doing stuff out of the job description, like repairing for refurbished products and driving trucks to help move product around. Despite the job supposed to be just being an in-warehouse packaging and shipping type job. Didn't get paid any higher than he was previously making too, though the overtime and double-time pay probably did add up real quick.

Hardest working guy I've ever met, but deep down I kind of feel bad for him. He told me he had to quit his last job as a UPS loader/unloader because his doctors told him he was literally killing himself with all the overtime he was taking. Said he weighed like 90 lbs (He's around 5'10") and basically lived to work and sleep at the point.

It's gotta be some sort of undiagnosed OCD or something when it hits that level. He's an awesome dude but some people don't know how to let themselves relax, it's sad.

This Viral Thread Has People Listing Things That Are in Fact Way More Dangerous Than Most Think (30 Things) If you need someone's attention while they're using heavy equipment, in a nonemergency situation, let them finish before getting their attention.

I work as a meat cutter. When I'm cutting something on the band saw, I have my back turned to the counter. Lot of customer expect to get service immediately as soon as they walk up to the counter.

So I'm cutting something and they immediately make a loud noise to get my attention. Like picking up a metal sign post and banging it in the floor or slamming the counter. It surprises me, making me flinch depending on how loud it is. With my fingers inches from a saw that easily passes through the thickest of cow bones.

I don't care how important your dinner date steak is. If I lose my hand, I will do my damnest to punch you in the face with my bloody stump.

-----

Additional info since I received a lot of comments about it. I am not alone. I have at least 1 other coworker working the counter. No, the band saw is not next to the service counter.

That would be a very bad idea. The amount of bone dust (yes, just like sawdust) produced would nake it very difficult to keep the front area clean.

I work in a back area, that is separated by a low wall and large open bay window. That's where we do all the meat production. That's where we can contain all the bone dust, blood, rendered fat, and other things that come with meat cutting.

Also that area is refrigerated. We have 2 massive cooling units on the ceiling with a total of 8 fans. It doesn't keep the production are refrigerator cold. But it does keep it around 50F on average.

Because of these loud fans, I can't hear my coworkers when they're talking at normal levels to someone in thw front. I can hear voices but can not distinguish what is being said. And that should give everyone an idea of how loud these a******s are.

I can hear it extremely loud over the fans, loud band saw and bones being sawed.

This Viral Thread Has People Listing Things That Are in Fact Way More Dangerous Than Most Think (30 Things) I'm an avid skier. I was just skiing in Colorado at Loveland and it's absolutely insane to me how people will click into their skis with little idea how to actually ski and very little idea where any given run will go and just go. If you point your skis downhill and let them go on a moderate pitch you can get up over 30mph without trying to. There are so few things that people will do at that speed without knowing exactly what they're doing. And to be clear, the people who are put in danger are not just the Jerry's who don't ski within their ability level, it's also everyone else around them. I watched a fully grown man absolutely destroy a woman this past weekend because he was out of control through a trail merge. The woman never even saw him coming and had no way to protect herself.

Eating too many Brazil nuts.

As they are very high in selenium, eating more than 5 Brazil nuts every day could lead to selenium toxicity which can cause hair loss, vomiting and fatigue, to name a few symptoms. I don't think it can be fatal, but still something most people probably don't realise as it is never mentioned on the packaging.

Shame as they taste so damn good

People put it in their cars every day, so they don't realize how volatile it is. Youtube is full of videos of people pouring gasoline on a campfire, or pouring it in a garbage can and sticking a match to it, only to find themselves sitting on their asses a half second later, eyebrows singed off and flash burns on their faces and hands, if they're lucky. It's explosive. It's not like lighter fluid for your BBQ grill.

Something that should be here but isn't: escalators are extremely dangerous. Keep your kids by the hand and keep them away from the sides. NEVER take a pet onto an escalator. The combs at the end can catch their foot pads ad drag their legs into the equipment. It's horrifying.

When I was nine, I was riding down an escalator with my dad. My shoestring got caught in the teeth. Major panic. Close to the bottom, my dad just picked me up and ripped me out of the shoe, which was immediately mangled by the bottom teeth of the steps. Terrifying. My hero dad ❤️

I worked retail in a department store with escalators. Parents would let their kids play on the escalators and I'd always go and have a nice chat with them about the injuries we saw from kids running up the escalators - those serrated edges can do horrific damage to shins or any other body part when a kid falls "up" an escalator. Adults can also fall if they aren't careful when walking on an escalator towards the top or bottom -- the stair rise changes at these points so your body can't automatically judge the distance to the next step correctly.

Yes! Do actual research on the person you’re voting for, beyond their political party. Do their values line up with yours? Do you legitimately think they’d be a good candidate? Don’t just think, “Oh, Republican!” or “Oh, Democrat!” and vote for them. So many people do this.

Something that you really wouldn't think about, but may actually pose some extreme danger in your life. Bamboo mugs. As in, your travel mugs, made from bamboo fibre. The resin often includes melamine-formaldehyde... Formaldehyde is what we embalm bodies with. It is toxic, and can cause cancer. It was discovered that with liquids above 70C (158F) , the mugs were capable of leaching up to 30x the safe limit for adults, and 120x the safe limit for children. This was seen in around 40% of bamboo fibre mugs. Also, they're not biodegradable, either. >.>

Not using an interpreter when necessary. People have lost their homes, children, freedom, money, family members, jobs, their LIVES etc ad nauseam because professionals insist on using someone bilingual and not an interpreter (it's like going to a "doctor" who quit halfway through pre-med). They also behave really unethically and makes real, certified interpreters with degrees and who participate in professional development look bad.
