Be sure to review them and if there are any questions e-mail me. If your state or local association need a speaker check these topics and e-mail me for details. I am gathering data concerning ergonomics for post graduate credit hours. Be sure to check often under these areas such as Cyberconsulting (with answers to many questions) .. Sickness and Disease (various recent issues) .. General Newsletters (organizational newsletters with topical issues) .. Chiropractic News (general information for the DC) and Weblinks (multiple links for the profession) as something is usually updated daily. Also .. check almost three years of previous e-mails under Previous e-mails. Postings this week: CA needed in Decatur Ga. .. DC is looking for a DC in Sweden .. DC is looking for a CA in Atlanta ..

Recent Life graduate wants to associate in Atlanta .. E-mail message this week ..attitude I just completed my overheads and notes for the next Fernandez Discipline Seminar .. the title of my classes will be Creating a Family Practice and Community Referrals. You can have an advanced peek of these and other notes by checking my webpage. The most important facet of creating referrals from your patients while creating and sustaining a family practice is to have your office family user friendly. I use and love my Macintosh. Apple professes to have the most user friendly operating system. The marketing arm of Apple .. and they have been doing quite well lately .. has a simple ad on the back pages of many magazines .. a simple picture of someone unique with the words „Think Differently.ū Doctor .. if you want your practice to expand .. you too must think differently as does your patients. In order to expand your office with patient referrals perception is crucial. A friendly office atmosphere where the staff actually demonstrates concern and lifts the spirits within the reception area makes a great difference. DCžs with an open adjusting area know what it means to keep the positive momentum going as they are always on stage. But .. as with most endeavors in life .. words often are less important if positive energy saturates the office. Ižm sure you know of many instances where across a crowded room you just sense this or that person has a gentle personality which would match yours perfectly. Often people gather around people who are conservative with words but liberal with kind deeds. Referrals stem from others wishing to help others .. either they wish to help your practice grow or wish to help others remain well. If your office has an uncanny uncaring tone .. an indicator may be the lack of patient referrals and constant patient drop outs .. then a major revamping of staff or attitude is in order. Conversely .. an office that is full of spirit and concern is a happening place which is truly a joy to come to .. donžt you think patients pick up on this? Attitude and perception is all it takes to generate positive energy in the office. Asking for referrals out of desperation is the wrong attitude and is quickly perceived as such. Asking for referrals because you want them to share your gift of adjusting after you have educated them to the reality of chiropractic is perceived as caring and often many patients willingly comply. Since the staff are a reflection of you .. take a long peek in the mirror and determine if the problem is right before you. If this is the case .. consider change as the opposite of caring is uncaring and the opposite of joy is disgust .. you choose. By the way .. if you wish to attend this Atlanta Fernandez seminar .. June 3 & 4 call them at 1-800-882-4476. Fee for this weekend seminar is $95 which has as its weekend theme .. Referrals.
