Either e-mail it to me or send it to my address at 4910 LaVista Road, Tucker, Georgia 30084. I will attempt to scan it onto my webpage. If you lost the e- mail address of the chiropractor with the question about his patient here it is. benb@feist.com (Dr. Ben Bowers). There were many responses that were cc to me .. we all appreciate working together to help each other and our mutual world community. receiving these E-mail message .. Enthusiasm My daughter went to the Opera the other day to see and hear Don Giovanni. Now this is a girl who listens to rap music and can usually care less about the classics .. let alone opera. So .. how can you explain her wide eyes and open ears .. her excitement finding something special for the first time .. something that felt very good .. something warm and fuzzy. I know we¼ve all been there .. a sense that we¼re more complete .. more alive. Classical music does this to me .. not all .. but most of the classics have me soaring above the clouds. I go with the musical flow and never look down. It wasn¼t the Don Giovanni that brought this hidden joy to the surface .. it was the company she was with. Her friend invited her to the opera .. her friend had a selective taste for finer things and was in total joy and anticipation as this special concert night approached. As they sat and listened .. the power of the moment seized upon him and then her and collectively the audience until everyone was enchanted with the libretto, the score, the scenery, the conducting, the sound and trappings that make a great performance. Bigger than Broadway .. this was Mozart¼s Don Giovanni. Let¼s explore more: Have you ever spoken to a person who has a gift to tell a story with great purpose and enthusiasm. It¼s not the quantity of words but the well placed quality of the message. It¼s not the hell raising tone of the message rather the calm deliverance with assurance. A mime can tell a story without words .. often ethnic dance will do the same. The secret is within the soul .. the hidden message that comes to the surface when you wish. If you love fly fishing .. golf .. tennis .. antique automobiles .. selective Eskimo art .. and someone were to ask you about it .. deep within your soul another you appears with excitement .. ready to tell the story with great enthusiasm .. glee shining from every pore in your face .. a welling within your soul lights the fire within those you are speaking to and they in turn are alive with your spirit. This is how it should have felt when you graduated chiropractic school. This weekend will be another graduation at Life University. I will be walking the walk this time as my class .. just taught .. will be receiving their diplomas and the class I¼m about to teach will be going through the motions in advance. There will be the guest speakers .. the usual speech from the brightest amongst the class and a word or two from Dr. Williams. After picture taking and the throwing of clinic cards comes the hugs and cheers. This group of students now doctors have made it. If I had one wish for them it would be they take with them this spark of excitement and bottle it somewhere deep within their soul. No one or no thing would sway them from this high energy spirit .. no negative banter from their fellow DC¼s .. no chiropractic political football game playing in their nearest town .. no degree of fear and horror to or not to join a managed care group .. nothing shakes them from their appointed rounds .. not rain .. not snow .. nor the rampages of lost chiropractic souls. I¼d wish them a protective seal that locks in the very essence they felt from day one of school .. their first adjustments .. their first new patient lecture .. their sense of achievement and completion this graduation day. My graduation speech would be simple and to the point. „My fellow students, instructors, family and guests, I stand before you as others have stood before me with open arms and hearts preparing to reach communities throughout the world. Soon we will be given a piece of paper .. a time honored challenge .. to defend what is given at birth .. Health and Wellness. Perhaps we each will travel different paths but the one common thread that will keep us as one is our desire to connect those we meet with their birthright. The healthcare system we have inherited has much to admire and much to abhor. As guardians of the spine .. the gateway to health and wellness .. it is imperative that we challenge our community alerting them to the one profound word that escapes them .. Subluxation. Other healthcare providers offer their inductive reasoning for patient care .. chiropractors as deductive scientists look towards the cause .. loss of transmission from nervous system to cell. How often does the average school child learn of the ramification of subluxations? How often does the family physician refer their patients to a chiropractor for management of the subluxation? How often does the pediatrician upon the initial well baby check-up search for the subluxation and properly handle it via the first chiropractic referral? How often do we find sports coaches discussing proper body mechanics and insist on supportive adjustments with mandatory chiropractic team doctors? How often do we hear of parents attempting through subluxation management to arrest their ailing children prior to running to the pediatrician and being handed a bagful of drugs? This is our challenge .. the choice is up to us. I implore everyone within the sound of my voice to begin awakening the interest in Health and Wellness within their town and hamlet and insist that chiropractic be offered with respect and the adjustment with awe .. they deserve no less.¾ For those new graduates and those who just did ..
