Assorted equipment for sale .. Highly effective patient referral tool E-mail message this week .. I'll tell them .. will you? Two weeks ago a patient was overjoyed with her newfound feeling of strength and vitality and promised she would tell others. I didn't solicit her testimonial or request she stand on the highest mountaintop .. no .. she promised and that was that. Yes that was then and now is now and she hadn't told a soul. I know because I asked. I asked if she mentioned how chiropractic had turned her life around .. how she suffered with fatigue and soreness for years and now was feeling alive again .. how she annoyed those around her with her constant complaints and sour look .. how she was short tempered with her kids and how her husband now is overjoyed with what he sees. I diplomatically asked if she needed some literature to help explain chiropractic. I asked because she did and she wanted to tell others. Do your patients have ammunition to assist them in the battle of Health and Wellness - vs - Sickness and Disease? On the other hand a recent new patient was injured at work and had gone the typical workers compensation route .. medical and physical therapy and felt no better for her efforts. In fact her lower back pain accelerated and became antalgic and unable to stand erect. The best efforts of her physicians had helped off and on but she was frustrated with the seesaw effect. She had gone to a chiropractor years ago and decided again to seek a chiropractic opinion. When she struggled into my office .. bent and in pain .. I realized my weekly challenge was here. She provided her history and frustration and between tears and fear I attempted to evaluate as best possible. To make a long story short she left the office erect with tolerable pain and hope. A visit or two later she was ecstatic and decided to ask the WC clinic to release her. Their medical physician told her he was happy she felt better with chiropractic but it was just in her head. She was strong enough not to pop him on the head but still had some choice words that set this doctor straight. What connects these two stories? One .. chiropractic works and two .. patients should be climbing on rooftops .. standing on office desks .. sticking their heads out windows and screaming I¼m not taking it anymore take me to a chiropractor .. we all need chiropractic care. Not professional .. you bet! But if we cannot rely on our treasured patients to tell the chiropractic story and be witness to their experience then the burden rests on us. Leaving the average chiropractor to ask for referrals or speak of the miracles seen each day in the average office means the status quo will remain the same a limp statistic. Doctor what educational process do you have in play .. where can your patients go for information to share with family and friends? When our profession can boast respectful statistics of patients compared to the population it will be time to rest on our laurels. But this is not the case .. we need to share amongst each other and with our patients the mechanics of chiropractic .. the whys and hows and where they can receive the best care. Wonder why we get the shaft by the insurance industry .. why we are considered a bastard child within healthcare? Some blame it on the spewed attitude between mixers .. straights .. blenders or on the educational and philosophical mish mash within our higher education and the graduates that pollute the political climate. It's not true .. it's you and me .. the DC without a spine .. the DC content with a slimmer of respect while witnessing the wonderful benefits of chiropractic and fearful or consciously PC correct to keep mum. The DC that sits behind their royal desk basking in the glory of knowledge and sharing it little with their community .. the DC on the fanatical sides and fringes of our profession willing to drag us all to the corners rather than marching clearly ahead. Stop it .. use your gift of knowledge and begin a campaign to share it with others. Ergonomics .. Stress Management .. Safety .. Wellness and Health .. Rehabilitation .. Preventive Wellness Care .. you choose your passion and purpose and tell it to others. Package a program .. begin an educational campaign .. join others in collective educational programs .. insist your state associations garner media interest and always have their sights aimed at the public and offer their members the tools to carry the torch to their communities. Doctors will you tell others and help others do the same or will you hover below the radar. I'll tell them .. will you?
