title: Fleas, ruby and the power of chiropractic.
abstract: This essay details my experience with a woman who believed her profound incapacity was due to her failure to respect what she termed the power of chiropractic. Whilst the clinical setting may be a fertile locale for the analysis of power the essay seeks not to allocate supplementary relations or uncover unspoken truths by privileging none but a remarkable woman's interpretation of that power.
