How to Build the Postural Correction Practice October 28 & 29 in Atlanta E-mail message for the week .. crème or scream The other day, I met a previous patient in the mall. As I recall, she had numerous issues that were not handled medically and through a referral came to our office in desperate need. After a careful consultation and report of my findings, she understood the nature of her problem and agreed to an initial phase of care. But, after three visits she dropped out of care. We sent the proverbial missed appointment letters and phone calls from my CA and myself to no avail. So, passing by each other in the mall was of interest and I asked her how she was doing. To my surprise, she praised my concern and wanted to express how much she appreciated my care and told me why she stopped coming. Seems she bought the tube of Biofreeze that hovers on my front desk counter. She couldnıt say enough about the ten dollar tube that cured her of her chronic pain. As a compassionate human, I was glad for her. But, as a professional chiropractor I kicked myself and felt sorry for her spine, which I know would not be assisted with just a rub and spray. Whoıs fault was it? In one breath it was mine, since I obviously never planted a strong seed of value for the adjustment and chiropractic. A topical ointment may help reduce pain but what did it do to reduce the subluxation, reduce structural distress and balance the paraspinal support system. It was my fault I didnıt get knee to knee with her within the first three visits and assure myself she was educated to the importance of spinal health and that it wasnıt found in a tube. It was my fault I didnıt educate her visit by visit and reinforce my concern, acknowledge her following a schedule and asking if there were any questions. It was my fault that I had tubes of product for the taking without directing patients to it and for the proper reasons. It ultimately was both our faults that further care was not being rendered as after she left our mall conversation, I didnıt even encourage her to see me in the morning. I should have at least sold her another ten dollar tube or mentioned an apple a day keeps the doctor away. We all know this is a business. As far as business, how much profit did I generate selling a tube of crème and how many others dropped out for similar reasons You just want to scream Have a Great Day Dr. M Postings: Dr. Joel E.
