Atlanta Avon Breast Cancer 3-day walk volunteers needed E-mail message this week: Sum of all Fears and Life U. Great Movie. Unfortunately .. this same title is replayed day after day in the minds and hearts of many. Your strength and longevity in this profession rests on your ability to maintain a balance between real .. imagined .. and preconceived fears. Each daily challenge must be met head on whether it is financial .. social .. professional. If you are fresh out of school the fear of survival keeps your adrenaline cooking. If you attend seminars and hire consultants .. the fees paid and time spent traveling should be a strong enough incentive to do what was told or heard. Fear of failure and rejection adds to the mix and propels a person to go the extra mile. But is this enough? What if you combine personal grief .. financial stress .. physical weakness .. technical wariness .. professional doubt .. social upheaval and even more dread? The sum of all this is fear and doubt. As in the movie .. life will continue on and the strong will peak from the muck and climb higher and stronger. If you have low self esteem .. financial stress .. physical weakness and professional doubt .. I recommend you stop the fear and doubt and look squarely in the mirror and start each new day as a breakthrough day. Many books can help you maneuver through the muck and with each new baby step regain strength and conviction. Spend some extra time re-learning your primary technique and add a flavor or two to the mix. Write new scripts for new and established patients and introduce wellness concepts .. rehabilitation to unstable structure .. answers to the patient¼s sum of all fears concerning Sickness and Disease and feel the flame of confidence. Fear is a sense .. a feeling. Hope .. is light.. may it shine bright for us always. Life U: I would be remiss not to mention my thoughts about Life University and the fears that many of their students may have. Life is a Huge Bulls eye. It is the largest chiropractic college in the world and therefore .. as with any large institution .. has exposure and bruises. They are an easy target. Dr. Sid Williams .. for those that know him is also a huge target. Outspoken and champion to his cause and is dedicated to the principles that formulated chiropractic. I know of many doctors that have a passionate dislike for both Life University and Dr. Sid .. venom way beyond any reason. They go out of their way to post old and worn out negative statements within student internet forums or speak with such disrespect. As a 1978 graduate .. I can attest that their education served me well. I also was privileged with the opportunity to share my years of practice and assist those entering our profession to have a less fearful time getting started as a part time instructor from 1995 until 1999. While an instructor .. I observed many dedicated teachers doing the same. Learning is an on going process and those students and graduate doctors desiring a diverse exposure to physical therapy .. deeper diagnostic review and/or additional adjustment procedures were offered a solid base on which to grow. Pluralism is a good thing. Checks and Balances is a good thing. Diversity is a good thing. I support Chiropractic and appreciate those that find challenges with either a global or focused approach to care .. whether they hang with labels such as ACA or ICA. The split within our profession has been around for more than 100 years. But .. the political bickering has reached a new level with this new threat to literally drain life from Life. Although the CCE may have strong grounds on which to make their decision .. they do so at the peril of pluralism and principles that have stood the test of time. We live in a society rich in medical facilities and professionals .. being they medical or osteopathic. Chiropractic has survived as a separate entity due to the difference in philosophy and the stalwart positioning between the pluralistic chiropractic entities state by state. As many wish to broaden scope and possibly lose the fine line of difference .. the other pole maintains the status quo. Check and Balances .. it has served our nation well .. as I feel it has our profession. Yes .. we are primary providers and as such should be of knowledge and sense the need to refer to other healthcare providers when necessary. We are primary providers that should be able to ascertain the need to alter care and explore various courses of action along with chiropractic. Every school should explore the variances of human physiology and pathology but within reason. My daughter is going out with a third year medical student. There is no comparison between his studies and chiropractic. He is offered the ability to make hospital rounds and interact with pathology up close .. to perform procedures beyond the text and be assured that his differential diagnosis is useful for his allopathic training and treatment. Chiropractic students even in the broadest of educational parameters haven't the opportunity or literally the need to focus as they do .. if they did we would be medics. There is a great role and need for chiropractic whether subluxation of fixation based. We have our hands full assisting with increased physical or physiological performance. I can care less if you see an adjustment as an adjunct or the primary purpose of each visit. I care that you and I adhere to the difference that makes the difference and allow pluralism to thrive not stifled as this mess has and will become. As much as I would love to be an apologist for Dr. Sid and Life U. .. I will not. There is always flames when smoke is around. Although I have no data .. I sense change may be necessary but not because Life teaches philosophical chiropractic. Life appreciates Life as I do .. as I hope you do. So .. the line has been drawn and depending on the pulls and tugs .. the side that crosses the line does so at the expense of the profession. I only hope they know the stakes and what they are doing.
