You can replace neuropathy with any other ailment/disease in this marketing scam this guy is pushing. His target audience is chiropractors and not the patient. And he's correct, marketing works. Just look at all the ads on TV and in magazines for drugs, shingles vaccine, weight loss, etc. It's all the same.
Years ago a guy tried to get my husband to sign on to one of his marketing schemes. John was a freelance illustrator at the time and this guy wouldn't leave him alone. Of course he promised lots of illustration jobs and money, you just had to pay him a pretty hefty sum up front. They target people who they know don't have the time or the desire to actively market themselves. Most artists and doctors prefer to do their craft and they know that. Always got to be on guard. |

as with most con men they use the victims own greed against them. this seems to be more about the doctors being hustled than neuropathy sufferers.

Another example where health care and medical practice are being manipulated for financial gain is when drug stores constantly are advertising and offering vaccines of different sort.
I felt I was being harassed, almost, when I was being offered the flu shot every time at checkout in my local pharmacy. I kept saying " no thanks" for a long time until I one day said " No thanks. And if I wanted the flu vaccine, I would have gone to my doctor's office." I did not think that intramuscular injections or any hands on patient care was in the scoop of practice of a pharmacist. This has been in the scoop of practice of a nurse. ( and, of course the doctor, if he/she does not have a nurse) If one need a vaccine of any sort, it should be a discussed, decided and performed in the doctor"s office. And this way one would also safely have it in the medical records in the doctor"s office. I think all this that are being discussed here is to be expected in a healthcare system under capitalism. It is business oriented, and there is a lot of competition. It can have good sides and bad sides. |

We all know the scammers are out there, making a living by taking advantage of others but there seems to be an extra layer of cruelty in kicking someone when they are already down.
It is particularly disturbing to me that a medical professional could feel good about taking advantage of the people they were specially trained to treat. |
