Remember the long chain e-mail we checked that's supposed to be a line-by-line analysis of health care reform?

Our colleagues at the St. Petersburg Times report that it sparked a doctor-patient breakup in Hernando County.

A chiropractor there printed out the chain e-mail and left it in the waiting room for his patients to read. One of the patients saw it and hit the roof. Words were exchanged, feelings got hurt. Read the newspaper's full report .
