Chiropractors! Ah, yes. I went, the bloke x-rayed me, showed me my back bent forward and back, like everyone, but also, sideways. Then I lay down, and he did what they do, and asked for his fee. I was paying for some random bloke to knock the living bejasus out of me! Too dazed to know whether it did me good --I told myself it had.
For anyone still with their nose to the grindstone, a doctor I met socially once told me that if a patient turned up complaining of back-pain, there was no way they could contradict this. And I had a layabout neighbour who was able only to sprint down to the Robin Hood, and wait on a bench outside. He had not worked for years: ''it's me back'', while his wife and four daughters worked like Trojans. Where was I? Where am I? Ah yes.... times and medicine may have changed....
Consistency is the hob-goblin of the small mind
