    So basically, last summer I worked as a solicitor for a business that opened up in two locations last march, and they were unable to get any clients until i started doing door to door soliciting, but since i did not get 100 clients within two square miles of their clinic, i got fired (their expectaions were ridiculously high) and I just looked at that company’s website, and I saw that (its an elective medical care clinic) the doctor in charge lied on several parts of her website, and did not even put her med school (where she went to med school, where she did her residency, where she went to college), and even LIED.

    I have a gut feeling (she isn’t jewish and works in a completely non-Jewish area, I frequently had to interact with catholics who most likely did not even know that i was Jewish… and probably never even think they have met a jew before…) that she is going bankrupt.

    Is it even legal for her to lie about that stuff?

    Of course it’s legal. Everything is.

    You could argue out that anything is legal today. Shooting yourself in the head is perfectly legal, after all, you are defending yourself against yourself against yourself….

    I just have this weird feeling that she might not actually be a doctor… I mean, i can’t recall her displaying her license in her office, and she didn’t have an office phone, I literally had to make cold calls from my cell phone, and i had to pay for the gas to drive around to do the door to door soliciting…

    First of all, didn’t you look into the business before you got the job?

    Second, from what I can hear, you weren’t very high up in the hierarchy of the office and therefore not privy to much of the background information.

    You can’t make a deduction based on the fact that she did not have an office phone, as you did say that the business had only just opened. You need to find out more.

    I was the only employee there most of the time I worked there besides the doctor and her husband. I never saw her medical license displayed anywhere- or at least a copy of it. Her website was a bunch of lies based on what I know. Since I was a door to door solicitor, I had to answer tons of questions about the doctor that I never got answers to when I asked for them. She “adjusted” me one time, and it made me feel more pain verses when I was younger I saw a more experienced doctor in that profession and he was amazing at adjusting me.

    If she was a chiropractor, it is possible she is fake and I’m almost positive might not need a medical license. A close relative of mine is a doctor and warns people about chiropractors; he has had patients who came to him in bad shape after being messed up by a chiropractor!

    If she was getting medicare or medicaid reimbursements, and was lying to the govt about her qualifications, then she violated the False Claims Act and you can sue her on behalf of the govt and get like a third of the fines. And the fines are really big.

    I, and probably Haifagirl, also experience pain with these verses.

    What, you think no one else has grammar pet peeves?

    yes, she was a chiropractor. There were a few random people coming in, but during my lunch break, I was told that I had to go to the break room and close the door… it was really weird.

    Plus, as someone who needs to wear orthopedic inserts, and have gotten them before from chiropracters, I wanted to replace the ones that I wore for over four years because they were completely destroyed, and she said she did not have the equipment to fit me for some. She said she would refer me to a podiatrist, but she never did.

    snowbunny3318, so what do you want to do at this point? SOunds like you are convinced she is a lie and a cheat. now what? Are you interested in investing a lawyer and taking her to court?

    #931727

    i need more evidence. Plus, i don’t have enough money for a lawyer.

    Well, you have to decide if it’s worth it to pursue it anyway. I mean, if the only issue was money, it’s one thing, but if you also barely have evidence…?

    By the way she was not allowed to adjust you without a chiropractic license. If your back/neck still hurts you can sue for that.

    #931730

    that is why i should not pursue it.

    Uhh, she can’t pay a lawyer, remember?

    #931732

    true… but i need money to pay for a lawyer… i mean, since then, my back has frequently become very knotty to the point where whenever a friend of mine tries to get rid of the knots, it can take ten minutes to get rid of one knot and it is extremely painful, especially because massages are, in theory, supposed to be relaxing.
