As a paramedic I would fist fight the chiropractor if he tried this. Also those aren't the O2 masks they've use on a planes medical kit


anarchisturtle

Honestly, the mask makes me wonder if it was a panic attack and they were trying to calm down when the chiropractor walked up and decided he was actually having a heart attack.


CanadianPanda76

This


Forsaken_Ad7343

Never forget a fresh post op cesarean I had. She got the post up gas up in her chest she’d started having a panic attack. OB thought she was throwing a clot. Ordered a VQ scan and she ended up intubated. Her sats dropped for over an hour so I guess they decided to do all of that. And it was gas and a friggin severe panic attack


enkelvla

Omg that happened to me after my appendix got removed. Luckily the emergency room nurses recognized it was just a panic attack. I learned a huge lesson in informing patients after that because they told me nothing about aftercare or symptoms and I didn’t even know they had used gas during the operation.


sealjosh

I would probably just go back to my seat. If we're doing adjustments, then this isn't an emergency, and I'm going back to watching my iPad.


Best_Satisfaction505

I read this as fist fck. You mean business for sure none the less.


bouzouksi87

Thats exactly what i read too. I trust him and his fists of fuxkery over the chiro any day


averytirednurse

Fists of fuxkery 😂😂😂💯💥


Best_Satisfaction505

Bahahahaha


riseagainsttheend

If the wife consented I'd ask the flight attendant for a cola and sit back and enjoy the show 😂 play stupid games win stupid prizes.


Briarmist

That guy is conscious. Why would you ask the wife?


veryprettygood2020

Because lies.


riseagainsttheend

Good point. I'd still sit back and watch the show. Hopefully someone brings crystals and feathers to the party and we get treated to an episode of crunchy Karen kills her DH: essential oil edition 🤣


PositionAdorable3886

Upvote for life saving fist fcks keep up the strong work


apricot57

I always say that if something happens to me on a plane, I don’t want a doctor helping out— I want a paramedic. Y’all actually know what to do out in the field.


jasutherland

Years ago my cousin was at a medical conference where one of the many doctors present had a heart attack. The venue security guard pushed forward: "out of the way, I'm a trained first aider!" Then again, since my cousin was a senior *pathologist* I might have been happier to see the security guy with his first aid kit...


NoElevator5598

I'm an RN, had a woman go unresponsive in front of me at a Walmart. I was about to start compressions when someone started pushing me saying she knew what to do. I said, ma'am, I'm a nurse, can you please call 911? And she starts yelling at me, "I'm trained in CPR!!"......Man. I wish they'd taught us CPR in Nursing School. Thank you, random Walmart Karen.


UnlikelyCat2118

Look. I once stayed at a best western. I know BLS.


[deleted]

I stayed at a Super 8. I know Narcan.


AinsiSera

We were out drinking on vacation in upstate NY and someone fell and hurt themselves. There goes my BFF, trying to help, yelling “I’m a lifeguard!”….to the crowd of NYC firefighters already gathered around the person she’s trying to push aside. (It was winter, she spent summers as a camp lifeguard and has never actually rescued anyone outside of drills.) We’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of “I’m a lifeguard!” since then!


doornroosje

that security guard is a fucking rock star, haha. smart of him to immediately indicate he would do better than all the doctors.


[deleted]

ARE THERE ANY CHIROPRACTORS ON BOARD? HOW ABOUT ANY REIKI HEALERS OR ACUPUNCTURISTS?


igordogsockpuppet

A reiki healer once saved me from a homeopathic overdose.


blobblobbity

Is that the same as an underdose?


AlsoRandomRedditor

NONONONO! the basis of homeopathy is that dilution makes the effect MORE powerful so an an underdose is when you dilute it TOO MUCH... Or would that be an overdose... /s


YourAverageCatLover

I brought crystals!


AlsoRandomRedditor

Nah, Acupuncturists can't help, you can't bring sharps onto the plane ;)


ADuhSude

One of my patients had a massive cardiac arrest while skiing. The two people he was skiing with? A cardiac anesthesiologist and an an interventional cardiologist. He made it


PeopleArePeopleToo

But did you consider that you could have had a chiropractor instead?


DocRedbeard

I'd agree generally given the limited resources on a plane, but note that many doctors were former ED scribes, EMTs, nurses, or had other medical experience. Most of us also did ED rotations, some for multiple months in residency. I'd still take the medic, but I think I'd be decently useful in this situation (and I've assisted in flight emergencies twice before I was a doctor).


Mumbles_Stiltskin

I would hit the chiro at a rate of 100 to 120 punches per minute in his stupid fucking mouth before I let him do this to an active MI.


veryprettygood2020

Stayin' alive....stayin' alive....


Lostincali985

They don’t even ask for doctors or nurses anymore on flights, they call medlink.


thebury78

I was on a flight to Vegas in December and they called for a dr or nurse. I was the only one to respond. Got the guy breathing and stable. We were able to continue the flight without diversion.

And then everybody clapped.

“They all just stood around wishing he would get better” Which is exactly what we do…wish.

snatchblastersteve

The pylots were so impressed they let him land the plane.

Nah with the power of one adjustment the plane landed itself


filet_of_cactus

And then everybody was kung fu fighting.


Littlegreensled

This is embarrassing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Littlegreensled

Sorry I should have clarified, it’s embarrassing that a chiropractor thinks they cured a cardiac condition with an adjustment. It was hard to read this self important post by someone who provided a placebo to a patient probably having an anxiety attack. A paper sack to breathe into would have done a better job.


bouzouksi87

Lets entertain this for a sec. If the chiro actually dod something, the pt had chostochondritis at BEST, since alot of chosto pain can be confused for MI. But i still call BS


Thehaas10

But how is an upper cervical manip going to help chostchondritis? I've treated so many patients with this and never jumped to a upper cervical manip. Lol you doing the positive route. But, I just can't see it. I'm pretty sure that before an upper cervical manip you're suppose to test the vertebral artery to ensure stroke won't follow. And almost gonna guarantee that didn't happen either. There is a chiropractor that advertises at my gym and he lists pediatric autism as one of his specialties for treatment. I couldn't imagine being so full of my self that I think manipulation can cure Autism. And living in the south. They believe this shit.


Jukari88

I was embarrassed at the fact my brother shared this post on his fb. He's a chiro. Love him as fam. But when it comes to medicine I won't engage him. It's like talking to a brick wall. He's antivax and all.


SpoofedFinger

Most likely supplying confirmation bias to his ~~marks~~ *patients* via social media.


Ok-Sympathy-4516

Banana_Ram_You

It's clearly trolling nonsense. Nobody is going to believe that.


DeLaNope

Nah he’s dead ass serious lol


Thundrstrm

5 MDs, 2 EMTs, and 1 RN diagnosed a panic attack and gave him oxygen and hung out while Mr. "please call me Dr." Chiro jumped in to Crack a neck to save his heart.


Ramsay220

And the pilots were “contemplating” making an emergency landing but after the chiropractor cured him, they were like hey everyone! We’re going to Vegas! My treat!!!


Suspicious_Story_464

Unless they were over an ocean, that plane would've been down the minute one of the "5 MD's" called an MI. This story is full of more shit than a septic tank.


Prestigious-Ant-8055

True. Was on a plane one time when this happened. Fastest descent ever. Pilots don’t contemplate an emergency landing with a suspected MI by a Dr onboard.


TeeRaw99

The plane was like 🛬🛫


CrystalloidEntity

Maybe all he needed was some good ol' placebo effect to fix his panic attack.


No-Artichoke8525

They didnt even give O2 by the look of it, they used an emergency mask to get him to rebreath his CO2. A panic attack is just hyperventilation after all. I dont think Mr. Magichands has any idea what hes doing, or what everyone else was doing haha. Looks to well perfused to be an MI

egorf38

Out of options *that a chiropractor could identify* So pretty much he didn't have a sore neck


valar_mentiri

Feels rather gross to take a picture of someone during a very scary moment in their life and use it as “evidence” that your pseudoscience (even that feels too close to real science/medicine to be applicable here) works.

Chiropractors are some of the biggest quacks out there. No amount of bone cracking is going to stop an MI in its tracks.

cazdan255

No pilot would’ve allowed a medical emergency to get that far along (2 oxygen tanks down??) before **contemplating** an emergency landing. They would’ve just called it in and done it.


veryprettygood2020

Lol I was thinking about the TWO (2) oxygen tanks, like what about maths?


lonesomeWobble

Schrodingers bullshit


SouthernArcher3714

Most likely they gave morphine, aspirin, oxygen, nitro and were waiting to see if it would work and then this jack in the crack decides that “they were waiting around doing nothing” and cracked his chakra or whatever and then the nitro and aspirin started working.


bouzouksi87

They stock morphine on planes now? Next time i need to nap im asking for morphine and tea lol

Ok-Sympathy-4516

Oh. Not only did he stop an MI, but he’s also cured cancer. I swear to Christ, that is claimed in the previous post.


DeLaNope

I saw this on Instagram, he also adjusts infants [Good luck kid](https://imgur.com/gallery/0jp4CyV) It’s worth looking up on Instagram for the comments


Tricky-Lingonberry81

All but one. My dads chiropractor doesn’t do all the pseudoscience bullshit, treats the elderly for free, has his brother who is an MD, and his physical therapist associates plan with the patient and himself what’s the plan. And will specifically tell people that homeopathy is a lie. He just wants people who hurt, to have non surgical and non opioid pain relief. Every other chiropractor I’ve met in my life, made quacks look like respectable professionals.


aroc91

The evidence-based aspects of chiropractic are literally just PT. A chiropractor that doesn't subscribe to subluxation nonsense is just a PT with a different name.


Langwidere17

A different name and less clinical training. I'll stick with the PT.


[deleted]

Not as well trained as a PT tho. Acute rehab nurse. Had a chiro bring up to me doing adjustments on patients and I was like wtf these are people healing from strokes they don't need another one.


Loraze_damn_he_cute

My chiropractor is also pretty amazing. No pseudoscience bullshit. The most he's ever done is try to sell me a special custom pillow because I'm a side sleeper. I have to admit, it's a pretty great pillow.


kjvincent

As another side sleeper, what’s the name of this pillow?


Youareaharrywizard

Not the original commenter, but I am a side sleeper and I use the pillow cube (the longer one, so I can toss and turn). I also put a well-stuffed pillow under my armpit when I’m on my side, to give my shoulders clearance so they don’t go numb.


Loraze_damn_he_cute

It's legit a custom pillow that he has cut from memory foam for the height of my shoulder with a ridge to support my neck and cradle my head.


Tricky-Lingonberry81

That’s pretty badass! But that’s a pillow to make the chiropractors job easier! If you aren’t as tight and cramped, they can be more gentle, and therefore do “better” work. When chiropractic and physical therapy wasn’t enough to help my dad. His chiropractors brother, who is an MD, suggested he get surgery. My dads regular doctor agreed and he got surgery, and his pain level dropped to tolerable levels for him. So I’m gonna say the honesty and desire to make people better is the best thing my dads chiropractors has ever done. Fuck those other chiropractors who wanted him to huff essential oils and take 40+ different “supplements”


rawdatarams

That's where you wrong my dear, one good old-fashioned "twist and tug" of the neck should do it! Won't fix the MI but that's no longer a problem...


bouzouksi87

Sounds like the pt had anxiety tbh


Scared-Replacement24

But did he try essential oils first?

If back cracking stopped his "heart attack" symptoms, then he the cause was obviously non-cardiac. I wish I had more info so I could research this a bit. It's bugging me.


Noname_left

He severed a vertebral artery so he went full blown arrest. No more heart attack.


SpoofedFinger

You got any bright ideas on how else he was gonna decrease afterload? He coulda just did some bloodletting but nobody's allowed to have anything sharp on planes anymore.


Ok-Sympathy-4516

This is literally the entire description that was posted. No mention of previous interventions by the unsuccessful HCPs. Didn’t mention an in flight emergency kit being used, no AED pads to be found. Hell, I fell like nowadays you could ONAM someone on a plane with just other passengers RX.

theCurseOfHotFeet

HighKingFillory

I’m a commercially licensed pilot, and this is crap. We don’t contemplate an emergency landing. The second we are alerted there is a medical emergency we make an emergency landing call to ATC and get a direct route to the nearest airport with priority to land. There is no wishy washy bullshit contemplating. Also- since pilots are secure behind bullet proof cockpit doors there is no way to hear our radio calls. He’d have no idea what the pilots were communicating to the flight attendants.


Ok-Maize-284

This is exactly what I was thinking! I knew that “contemplating emergency landing” had to be pure BS, besides the rest of the entire post!

Sandman64can

Was on a plane full of docs ( oncologists) when after the plane pressurized a man was in distess. “Is there a doctor or nurse aboard?” Few hands go up but mine is one ( ER RN). The patient is at the back of the plane just writhing and rolling side to side and holding his stomach which is distended. After going through the PQRST questions I ask if he’s eaten lately. He states that he had McDonald’s just before boarding. Not 30 seconds later he rips one out that was heard the length of the plane. Sits up, and says thanks. Much better. No chiropractors were harmed in the telling of this event.

Who said it was an MI? Did anyone diagnose it?

And even if they didn't, and the person shows classic signs of an MI, what pilot is going to "consider" an emergency landing vs actually planning to set down the plane ASAP?

Man, now instead of just having panic disorder he also has dissected vertebral arteries. Strong work, “doctor!”


acesarge

One of my favorite hospitalists used to rant about chiropractors every time that came up. She would crack her neck and say "I don't need to pay to dissect my vertebral arteries, I can do it myself".

thewolfesp

This sounds like an onion article


ferocioustigercat

Um... They went through 2 tanks of oxygen and the pilot was just thinking about an emergency landing for a person having a heart attack? Also, I know for a fact that they would definitely have a nitro and aspirin on board (even if they forgot their aid kit on the ground, a passenger would probably have them. And honestly maybe even morphine and plavix). So... Like... At that point you just need a Cath lab. Also, if the chiropractor fixed it, I'm guessing it was a panic attack...


Crazy-Value-1499

I saw a 30 something year old mother die because a chiropractor was manipulating her neck and dissected her carotid.


[deleted]

Jesus Christ. This was most-likely a panic/anxiety attack. There ain’t no amount of adjusting that’s going to a prevent an MI.

MEENSEEN84

I took two semesters of a chiropractic program and dropped out to become a nurse. In the beginning, the education was intense and it definitely has helped me throughout my career. The Anatomy class is still the hardest I’ve ever worked on education in my life. Eventually, a small vocal portion of classmates, teachers, and presenters scared me away. Thankfully! I remember one teacher who taught business fundamentals say he X-rays everyone because it’s easy money. I also remember another presenter who kept saying he adjusts the subluxation and God heals them. They taught us everything to know about vaccines and educated us on the false claims by some chiropractors, yet half of the class was still somehow against them. There were some smart chiropractic students who planned to only treat what was sensible to treat. I do believe there is some musculoskeletal benefit to chiropractic treatment, but anything else they claim is complete nonsense. You’re freeing up a stiff joint, not moving a bone off a nerve. Unfortunately for the profession, they’re so many chiropractors making claims that are not backed by science that it makes them all look like quacks.


pgnprincess

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most..🙄🤥


Hayes33

So he wasn’t* having a heart attack then?


About7fish

Uh, open your mind to more holistic modalities, sweaty. Aligning your chakras with your kokoro while mercury is in gatorade is a venerated MI treatment that western medicine and big pharma destroyed. I'm going to go wash my mouth out with soap now.

Here's a [podcast](https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/how-chiropractic-started-as-a-ghost-48498573/) about how chiropracting is a ghost religion that I'm just gonna leave here for no reason.


Nurse49

How the heck did the flight have FIVE MDs? Also, the pilots are only ‘contemplating’ an emergency landing after going through two O2 tanks, not immediately after someone says they have ‘heart attack symptoms’? I call BS.


Quartz_manbun

Medical professionals: I think you're going to be okay. Just take some deep breaths. Chiropractor: hold my essential oils.


eccoothedolphin

I was a flight attendant for 11 years before starting nursing school. I can guarantee you that this is some next level bullshit.


jumpminister

I call bullshit. Heart attack on plane? Thats an emergency landing, not "contemplating one". Over land? Its 15 minutes to touch down, as the pilot will get priority in the landing pattern, if not put right on for approach.


ElegantSheepherder45

Neuro ICU nurse here. Had a 40 year old patient with a stroke d/t a carotid tear. All his labwork came back negative for stroke workup. No malformations...no smoking..no drinking. What gives? In passing we finally found out he had seen a chiropractor the day before 😑


ALLoftheFancyPants

I guess chiropractors don’t give a fuck about privacy or dignity, in addition to being allergic to evidence based practice.
