Emergency Chiropractic Technician Refuses to Give up On Heart Attack Victim.....

Belvidere, NE - Chiropractic paramedic Frank Grimes, a chiropractor and veteran emergency chiropractic technician (ECT) in the small southeastern Nebraska town of Belvidere, is known as someone who doesn't take no for an answer. And this grim determination in the face of daunting odds was on display earlier this month when he and his team of trained lifesavers were called into action after fellow Belviderean Maynard Wilks was found unconscious in Jenkins Park.

Grimes and his team arrived at Jenkins Park, affectionately referred to as "the Jenk" by residents of Belividere, to find Wilks sprawled in the grass next to the abandoned concrete tubes that the kids like to play hide and seek in and/or do drugs in. After several minutes of resuscitation with no return of consciousness, the team was ready to quit. But Grimes, who will begin offering a $25 Spring Into Health package that comes with a full spinal analysis and one free adjustment starting March 1st, refused to stop providing spinal adjustments. 

Finally, after 20 terrifying minutes, Wilks began to stir. The gathered crowd of locals turned to the machine that makes squiggly lines and goes "beep" with anticipation. They were not disappointed. Within minutes, Wilks was up on his feet and walking towards the Shop & Cram on C street. He needed turnips and expected that they would never taste as sweet as they would that night.

"I kept screaming not today Maynard...not today," Grimes revealed. "I saw my team packing up the Activator and the Pro-ArthroStim, even putting the DRX9000 spinal decompression device back in the truck, but I just couldn't believe it was his time to die."

90-year-old Maynard Wilks, well known in the Belvidere community for his uncanny longevity despite having been caught up in a wheat thresher when he was a young child, never did get the chance to enjoy those sweet, sweet turnips. The second place finisher in the town's yearly pie bake-off in each of the past 53 years would die later that afternoon from an acute subluxation of the second thoracic vertebra, the very same subluxation expertly jammed back into place by Grimes earlier in the day. 

Wilks won't soon be forgotten by the town that he was born and raised in. There are even plans to place a small sculpture in honor of his memory in the Jenk, next to the concrete tubes where kids like to escape the heat on a hot Summer day and/or have sex in. According to Grimes, losing patients is a part of the job that ever gets any easier. "Even after I initially stabilized him by applying a serious of specific, high-velocity and low-amplitude impulses to the transverse process, ultimately it was just his time to go. That damn subluxation was probably there for decades and I can't help but wonder if he would still be alive right now if he had come by the clinic for my by Fall Into Health special back in September."
