Barnes and Nobles is offering through its "Books by Mail" a sale price on the hard cover version of The Serpent on the Staff: The Unhealthy Politics of the AMA by Chicago Sun-Times reporters Howard Wolinsky and Tom Brune. The book, which details the inside workings of the AMA, got mass media attention when it was released in 1994. The book includes a chapter that chronicles the AMA's campaign against chiropractic.
Howard Wolinsky, medical writer at the Chicago Sun-Times since 1981, and Tom Brune, investigative reporter and editor at the Sun-Times since 1983, have written a book that is not only of interest to chiropractors, but to a broad spectrum of Americans.
Serpent on the Staff was the first independent investigative book about the medical establishment that was directed at the general public since journalist James Rorty wrote American Medicine Mobilized in 1939.
The $5.98 sale price for the hard cover is less than you would pay for the softcover version in the local bookstore. It's crucial reading. The catalog number is A134079. All you have to do is call 1-800-THE-BOOK.
Dr. John Mostrando (center) with the World Vision group in Ecuador.
Through World Vision, an organization which sponsors poor children, Dr. John Mostrando traveled to Las Rocas, a rural village in Ecuador, to bring chiropractic care to the small, impoverished community. With some help from interpreters, Dr. Mostrando treated a myriad of conditions ranging from ruptured disks, to a man who had been gored by a bull. When Dr. Mostrando traveled to treat patients in various villages, patients expressed their gratitude. One village chose to thank him by roasting the local delicacy: a guinea pig. Any chiropractor interested in contacting World Vision should call 1-800-777-5777.
When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
