Much to see .. check it out. E-mail message this week: Chiropractic for Dummies A trip to your local bookstore will find a full shelf of books dedicated to Dummies. These books attempt to simplify the educational curve a bit and present the facts and meat of the subject as clearly and simply as possible. I think we need to create our own patient and community oriented books entitled: Chiropractic for Dummies. (now before you get outraged that I am dummying down our profession .. the title used today is just for illustration and discussion) Think about it .. there are dozens and dozens of pamphlets and short booklets you can purchase from chiropractic suppliers to provide your patient after their initial visit. Some are visual with many pictures and illustrations .. some are wordy with facts and statistics .. others have a combination of graphics, questions and answers and even mini tests to take. But .. do they relate specifically to you and your office and do they really cater to the dummy in us? What is that time honored adage? (K.I.S.S.) Keep it Simple Stupid Take a pen to paper and begin a number of headings. One may be titled: My technic .. another .. What is Chiropractic .. another .. Our Office .. another .. Who goes to the Chiropractor .. or .. What does a Chiropractor study .. etc. This may be the time to outline your care program .. do you offer corrective care or just patch up .. do you offer maintenance care .. family care .. sports injury care .. specific wellness and wholistic care .. is your focus on nutrition .. pediatrics .. geriatrics .. rehabilitation. Are you Board Certified .. well .. this is the time to tell them that you are a very special specialist .. that you shine within your community that they are with the best hands around. But .. make it simple .. write your own booklet .. cut and paste pictures. If you are somewhat computer savvy purchase clipart (like chiroclips.com) or generic clip art found in any computer store and illustrate what you wish to describe. But overall .. think like a patient .. the average patient .. will they get the big picture with the shortest amount of words .. will there be the impact you intended .. a one shot attempt to educate and impress. Will they want to read it or place it aside .. will they be enlightened with their responsibility to tell others and did you leave them with an opportunity to refer. Were your Financial Options available and possibly your office policies. This is a lot to do in a dumped down fashion. Use your head and heart and make it simply simple As an investor .. I enjoy the Motley Fool (http://www.fool.com) .. two brothers that have irritated the stock brokerage world by writing a book for fools (you and me) average people that make daily decisions having an impact on their and their family lives. They get 300,000 hits on their website a week and have books and a radio show to prove that their simple ideas appeals to many. Let¼s explore this concept individually .. write your own foolish book and get the message out. By the way .. I¼d love to add your thoughts and ideas on my webpage. If you have any ideas that you wish to share or have written any practice winning ideas .. e-mail it to me or send it to my office at 4910 LaVista Rd. Tucker, Ga. 30084 (770-491-3799 .. fax) Have a Great Day Dr. M Postings this week: Karl Parker Sharing Seminars ..
