As many of you know, I had an active message board but had to shut it down because of constant spam intrusions offering one erectile dysfunction or drugs for less advertisement after another. It literally got out of hand. But, my webmaster, my son, who works with internet security is looking for a way to reestablish the board while keeping intrusions out. The message board will be an area to discuss issues related to our practices. I hope you will share marketing and practice/patient management ideas, as well as ask questions that we can collectively answer. There are similar sites within our professional circles, but with the economy as is, it will be useful to share winning promotions and events and answer the tough questions that seem to stifle some of us preventing practice break throughs. I will let you know when it's up hopefully by Monday, in the meantime, any ideas you wish to share with me will be appreciated. This will be very useful for our marketing or PR staff. E-mail message this week .. At The Last Second It bothers me when I see or hear of people giving up because a situation looks hopeless. As chiropractors, we face patients ready to stop treatment because they haven't responded as quickly as they like. Same if you place them on a nutritional path and they stop their program because they still exhibit symptoms. It's frustrating to talk truth and make sense while people can't or won't hear you with the goal line only yards away. I was lucky to witness a last second occasion during this past Sundays Atlanta Falcon's football game against the Chicago Bears. My seats were perfect, fifteen rows from the field on the 50 yard line. It was so close, you felt part of the game and the score was close enough to excite the crowd through to the end. With minutes remaining, the Bears scored seven points taking the lead for the first time leaving just eleven seconds for the Falcons to reach their goal from the Bears 30 yard line. This seemed hopeless and fans were beginning to leave, especially Bear's fans. Matt Ryan, the Falcon rookie quarterback, threw a pass allowing field goal range with only one second left. Talk about suspense. With the kick in the air and the ball through the middle of the goal posts, the Falcon's won with that one second chance. They didn't give up and their dedicated fans hung in there as well. Doctor, you may have circumstances when a patient seems ambivalent and your report seems hopeless but you conjure up the energy to state your case and have that patient agree to follow through with your recommendations or a patient on the verge of success but needs that extra bit of your confidence to have them follow through. Every marketing event or public relations project may seem overwhelming, but with fire in the belly and the attitude of not giving up, you may be surprised with the results. Sometimes, it all happens at the last second Have a Great Day Dr. M Postings: Dr. Joel E.
