i've seen more than a few posts on here about people loving stories with unreliable narrators, but it's funny. i'm definitely not saying the same people are also saying what i'm about to talk about, it's just funny to see them both in the same spaces on tumblr.com. because so many people on here actually hate unreliable narrators and don't seem to believe they even exist. because they take everything a character says as 100% factual especially if they like them, no matter how obvious it is that the character is being, you know. unreliable.

Meanwhile this was what various medical professionals in that reddit thread had to say about it.

They do not, in fact, love it.

The proof that chiropractic is an utterly failed medical profession is not that adjustments can cause harm, but that the profession has responded by ignoring and denying the harm, rather than studying it.

All medical treatments (other than complete placebos) have some risk of harm, but for real treatments given by real professionals, the harms are tracked, measured and warned about. If the harms are too severe, the treatment is no longer used.

One of my colleagues was a chiropractor. After a while he began to suspect that a lot of his patients actually just had muscle tears, not spinal issues. He bought an ultrasound machine, learned how to use it and how to read ultrasound, and found that to be the case. Between that and the constant pressure from management to get customers (because lbr, they're not patients, they're customers), he got sick and tired of it and bailed to become a sonographer full time.

And before people pipe up with "but my chiro is good, they have me do exercises and so on!" that's just regular ass physiotherapy. See a physiotherapist. A lot of people who sing the praises of chiros because they saved them from chronic pain would have gotten the same benefits from seeing an actual licensed physio, who can prescribe the same or even better exercises because they have an actual fucking education.

The amount of fucking charts I've seen where a patient went to a chiropractor and now needs a surgery is fucking insane. All I do is medical charts, day in and day out doing medical code. I've gone over hundreds of patients whole year of appointments. Unless the chiropractor is also a physical therapist, that patient is going to get worse and need surgery with very few exceptions. It doesn't matter when they mention seeing a chiropractor, by the end of the year they need surgery for issues that started after *shock and awe* a chiropractor appointment! I've seen patients needing multiple surgeries to be functional after chiropractors. I've seen patients lose their ability to walk because of chiropractors. And all the way up till they need surgery, through the issues piling up and needing more pain meds, the patients insist it's helping because the want so badly for it to be helping. I wish it did

Cora actually incredibly annoying but just like how people forgive Lucanis for it because he's polite they forgive her for it because she looks like a stray dog that hasn't been fed in a week

No matter how a mage has become apostate, the Chantry treats them alike: Templars begin a systematic hunt to bring the apostate to justice. In almost all cases, "justice" is execution. If there is some overriding reason the mage should live, the Rite of Tranquility is employed instead. Whether we of the Circle of Mage believe this system is fair is irrelevant: It is what it is. -- From Patterns Within Form, by Halden, First Enchanter of Starkhaven, 8:80 Blessed

"We understand that at present things are going badly in Rome . . and I implore Your Beatitude to leave and if that is not practical to take the greatest possible care, and Your Beatitude must not impute this to presumption but to the very great love I bear and be certain Your Holiness that I will never be at peace unless I have frequent news of Your Holiness." — LUCREZIA BORGIA IN A LETTER TO HER FATHER, 1494

Ugh I'm having so much fun writing this chapter!!! I feel so alive!!! Lucanis gets to do his assassin thing and be useful, Bellara gets to blow something up, Neve and Rana have weird silent eye contact and moral dilemmas together, Cora is insane and neurotic on so many levels, god. This is what it's all about.
