When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.
| Digital ExclusiveOn-line with the Chiropractic Forum
Chiropractic is officially off and running on the high-tech information superhighway. Every Sunday, from 9-10 p.m. EST, over 250 DCs and other interested parties have been tuning into America On-Line's Chiropractic Professional Networking Forum, "Health and Medical Chat."
Like all cyberspace "chats," all you need to network with chiropractors across the country is a computer, a modem, and in this case, be a subscriber to America On-Line. The revolution in communication is here. Discussions with a wide variety of chiropractors is only a phone call away.
Chiropractors on the forum speak on a multitude of subjects, but have organized specific topics by popular vote. On April 9, for instance, clinical rounds (low back pain) were discussed.
Future Sunday discussions will feature:
- April 16 -- Headaches and Chiropractic
- April 23 -- Chiropractic Research: Where Do We Need to Go?
- April 30 -- Scripting Abilities (a possibility)
Bob Dubin, DC, who facilitates the forum, says the on-line Sunday chat gets better each week, as more people come on-line and users get more comfortable with the medium. David Brady, DC, is the co-facilitator of the discussions.
Please join the Chiropractic Professional Networking Forum, every Sunday, 9-10 p.m. EST, on AOL, in the "Health and Medical Chat" section.
See you there.
