I Got Electrocuted By My Chiropractor's Assistant

Have you ever received Electro-Muscle Stimulation? Electro-Muscle Stimulation is a special form of electrical current. It is administered at the site of soft tissue injuries and muscle injuries. I've had this is the past for a lower back injury and it was very helpful so I thought I'd try it again for my stomach muscle/tendon/joint (whatever the fuck it is) injury that I've have for a year and a half now. I've had three sessions of this over the past week...two of them were good. I'm here to talk about the BAD one. I was hooked up to the machine...the machine that was pushed out of my reach. The electrode pads were placed along my left side. The juice was turned up...by juice, I'm referring to the electric current runnng through my body. "I'm going to come back in a few minutes and make sure it's not too high," says the nurse. She left. Jolt. Jolt. JOLT. JOLT! Sonofabitch...that hurt. JOLT, JOLT, JOLT...each JOLT got more painful as the muscles tensed up. I would have turned it down, but as I stated previously, the machine was out of reach. JOLT, JOLT, TORTURE....TORTURE. After being punched in the side by electric current about 50 times, she finally returned. "How is it? OK?" NO! IT FUCKING HURTS! WHERE'S MY CALL THE NURSE BUTTON? She turned it down...and down...and down...from a 17 to a 12 on a scale of 1-40. They use 40 to prevent muscle atrophy.

If this is anything like one of those Electric Ab Stimulators that people who don't want to workout use for the "perfect" abs...good luck to those of you who are using it. I'll pass. I'll also add for those concerned that I might be going to the wrong chiropractors office, that the chiropractor kicks ass...this was a temp nurse filling in for the regular one who was sick. The regular one is awesome. Just my bad luck that day I guess.
