E-mail message this week .. Upsets Reading about the tumult at Palmer reminds me of other unsettling upsets. During the five years I have been sending my weekly e-mails .. I have recorded and posted a number of chiropractic upsets. First there was the unexpected removal of Dr. Karl Parker from Parker College. The discourse between sides still fester. Next the David Tedd Koren was fighting against the Goliath the Federal Trade Commission. We had a chiropractic educator/vendor pulled aside and warned that the full weight of the US government was shutting him down. His opinions and publications posed a danger to the public. He appealed to his brothers and sisters for help and many came with funds and support while others turned aside and looked the other way. LUCC was the largest school in the profession. Detractors gleamed with joy when the school was brought to its knees with students scampering throughout the country to assure a diploma. A shell remains with a hopeful future. Now the Fountainhead is in upset. From afar I can only report what others see and hear. Opinions are ripe and decisions are made for better or worse. Cool heads and opened ears and minds need prevail. You .. the average DC plying an honest trade .. the one that offers hope and help reversing the physical upset of others deserve more and it is out there for you. As you read and experience the turmoil of others think first before reacting. The truth in all these battles lies somewhere in the fuzzy middle. I choose my battles and aligned myself with those I trust. Although the economic pie is shrinking .. there still remains a healthy appetite and interest in less invasive and alternative healthcare. Health clubs proliferate in metropolitan cities always with a full house. Bottled water is purchased in lavish style and people spend discretionary funds for tons of vitamins and minerals. In other words .. we are not far from the minds of those we need to reach. They are out there and with honest and responsible marketing and public relations they will share with your ideals of health and wellness. Although consolidation and contraction is the modus operandi of many trades our profession has yet to tap into the hearts and minds of the public. We still serve a pitiful few while so many deserve our skill. Here lies the true upset. We should be upset. Upset that we spend little time reaching out to others and more time mopping about why they are not in the office. Upset that the chiropractic educational quotient of our neighborhoods is nearly zilch. Upset that we let our patient base deteriorate due to poor management. Upset that we strive to achieve with no goal and no plan. Upset that we look at others and complain why them not me rather than asking and sharing. Upset that we still have a divisive profession with little leadership and splintered opinions. Upset that there are those within our honored profession that are upset at all.
