Back Crack

I knew Chiropractors are into holistic and alternative healthcare, but I think this local Peoria doc took it a step too far.

The guys was on crack -- and I don't mean the sounds your neck makes when he gets his hands on you.

Says the PJStar article (written by Elain Hopkins):

An employee in McCarthy's office stated he told her that he was using crack cocaine and threatened to kill her and her family if she reported him.

A patient stated McCarthy left acupuncture needles in his back for hours and admitted to using drugs. Another patient stated a back treatment injured him and left him with pain for a month.

An agency investigator, Steve Wagy, stated that in a July 6 interview, McCarthy was thin, "dirty and unshaven," and said he was living in a hotel to get away from "gangsters."

I would think having hypos stuck in your back and calling it acupuncture might have been the first clue.

Anybody want to admit it going to this guy?

According to Methodist Medical Center's Web site, he's still taking new patients. Now that's good news. I've been needing a fix.
