Not sure if this is the right thread for this but it seems like a logical place for it to me, so …

Last Saturday, literally out of the blue I was stricken with excruciating almost debilitating pain in my lower back. By Monday morning it was so bad that just getting to the pisser was a major accomplishment. Not wanting to spend one more second like that than I had to, nor wanting to tempt the possibility of opioid addiction I called my chiropractor.

The earliest they could get me in was today, and they told me to arrive a little early as they’d recently upgraded their computer system and some of the old data hadn’t transferred properly, so I’d have to fill out some check in paperwork. The “paperwork,” of course, actually consisted of standardized forms on an ipad.

When we got to “Contacts,” I of course wanted to name my wife as my emergency contact and as a person who I authorized them to discuss my treatment with. So in the appropriate field I typed in “wife,” to which the respnse was something along the lines of “We’re sorry but your entry was not found in our list if contacts. Please make a choice from the list.”

Well, there was a drop down list of all kinds of “contacts” the specifics of which I don’t recall. What I DO recall is that thd closest thing to “wife” or “spouse” on their list was “ Life Partner.” Like I said, I don’t recall any of the other options except that I do remember that one of them was “owner.”

WTF is this world coming to?

Their ignorance/stupidity have truly reached astounding levels. And these are the ones the people have elected to lead them.

Assault rifles carry the energy of 11 nuclear submarines and when the force of that hits some body it just vaporizes them. Very sad.
