RE: Survey
DATE: Oct. 21, 2000 

A major issue facing today's chiropractors is the question of D.C.s 
prescribing drugs as part of their patient services, even though this 
runs counter to what generations of chiropractors have been taught 
and 
have come to believe throughout their educations and careers. Our 
reputation as non-invasive, non-drug-related caregivers is 
jeopardized by 
this new trend of thinking. It is time for us to speak out. 

The American Chiropractic Association's Family Practice Council is 
conducting a survey of chiropractors and chiropractic students to 
better 
understand the thinking of the profession. Please take a few 
moments to 
answer the five questions, then mail or fax it to Clint Publications 
at 
the address listed on the bottom of the survey. Please do not ignore 
your 
responsibility to the future of chiropractic. Let the public know that 
Palmer people value our history and reputation too much to alter our 
long-charted and successful course. 

Thanks very much.
