DC is looking for the original 1914 book "The Chiropractor" by DD Palmer E-mail message this week .. energy Yesterday in the middle of a busy morning I was called to the phone to speak to a PI insurance adjuster wanting to cut my claims for excessive care. Mind you this was for a patient treated after a serious auto injury with radicular complications and many painful moments. I adjusted her a total of fourteen times over a six week period. The care was specific and included rehabilitation. The first words out of this adjusterıs mouth was her ground rules for our discussion. She would talk and I was to listen. She had the facts and I was to listen. She knew what was best for this patient and would listen. She read the data and I would listen. She wasnıt giving me a word in edgewise, I was only to listen. She rattled off some statistics that were "evidence based" knowing that my patient was to completely heal in just a few visits taking she into account a few extras just to be nice. I was astonished at her attitude and tried to jump in but she insisted that we couldnıt talk over each other and I was just to listen. This lasted a few minutes longer than I enjoyed before I began to speak. Where did she get the chutzpah, the gall, the disrespect, the pedigree from hell not to mention her medical degree, did she actually examine my patient, besides the supplemental report and clear daily notes I sent, were there other facts about this specific human she needed to know before making her outrageous claims, was she reading a script or did her factoids come from evidence based medicine or some medico-chiropractic appease the bastards group? Between my talking and her listening, we were at a stand still and it got hot before I slammed the phone on her. It seems that even prior to her call, she had already sent her check. I guess out of some disjointed courtesy she called but I think it was wishing for a fight. She seemed to enjoy it! In all my 26 years, Iıve never ever spoken with an adjuster, they have always paid or circumstances were understood. Between the ridiculous goings on at the fizzled FSU chiropractic school and my fighting for a few bucks that was deservedly earned, we still grovel to the well and ask to drink. Not just we humble DCıs but also the medics and professors, the mechanics and the stewards, the shopkeeper and the merchant. We live in a consumer driven world and the money line beckons at the door of those that open it. Iıll fight for whatıs right. The FSU school was a place for learning, why did it not go through? My claims were justified even in an "evidence based" environment, why did I have to stoop to the lowest level to earn it? Why did I have to transfer positive energy for negative. What was most unfortunate was how I reacted after I hung up. Our conversation lasted about five or so minutes but I was pissed, not because I lost a few bucks, but I almost lost my dignity and respect for my professional skills. I lost the positive high energy flow that was being generated from the first adjustment of the day, but now I felt drained and depleted of energy. There is no morale of this story. Iım sure you can write a postscript or a musical coda. But for me, I feel better that I vented for you and thatıs it. This adjuster had her moment, I had mine and life moves on. Positive energy generates more energy. Negative energy drains. I chose for more.
