Georgia College Graduate Paralyzed After Visit to the Chiropractor, Family Says
On June 16, recent Georgia Southern University graduate Caitlin Jensen visited a chiropractor for an "adjustment to her neck", according to a GoFundMe page established to offset her medical expenses. After the adjustment, Jensen "became ill" and hospitalized, where tests revealed she had four dissected arteries within her neck.
"This damage led to cardiac arrest and a stroke, as well as a loss of pulse for over 10 minutes after which she was revived," the fundraising page reads. "Once the doctors were able to stabilize Caitlin, she was rushed to surgery. Doctors were able to repair some tears and placed a stent in one artery."
Caitlin's mother Darlene Jensen told WSB-TV that doctors believe the young woman's stroke occurred "as a direct result of the neck manipulation."
"The surgeon ... that saved her life, and every other doctor that has looked at her, have all agreed that this happened as a direct result of the neck manipulation," Darelene told the outlet, in a story published Monday. "The chiropractor called 911 and then called me and told me that she was 'having a reaction to the treatment.'"

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
