Chiropractor wins Right to Telemarket Accident Victims

Remember the days when hospitals didn’t advertise, lawyers didn’t advertise, spamming was unheard of and you just went to whatever doctor your neighbor recommended? Of course you don’t because it’s been eons since that simple life was the norm. Thanks to one Louisiana chiropractor, you might as well assume your going to get a call from your local chiropractor a day or two after you’ve had an accident. At least if you live in Louisiana. The Consumerist tells us Dr. Kirtland Speaks has gone to court asking for a repeal of the Louisiana Board of Chiropractic Examiners regulations which prevents doctors from obtaining accident victim’s phone numbers from public accident reports.

While a lower court refused to overturn the Boards’ regulations, a higher court ruled in his favor so, for the time being as the case continues to wend its way through the legal system, Louisiana resident can expect a call from Dr. Kirtland if they ever find themselves in an accident.

My daughter visits every few months and spends the entire time on her phone responding to work emails — and I realized I’m not angry about it anymore because I finally understand I’m the generation that taught them productivity matters more than presence

Grandparents who build real relationships with their grandchildren aren’t the ones who try hardest — they’re the ones who are most genuinely themselves in those relationships, who don’t perform grandparenthood but simply show up as a person the child finds worth knowing, and children are extraordinarily accurate detectors of the difference between someone who is interested in them and someone who is interested in the idea of being close to them

Psychologists explain that happiness after 60 often arrives not as a feeling but as an absence. The absence of pretending. The absence of urgency. The absence of the persistent low-grade fear that you’re falling behind a race that never existed.
