DC Wins National Mystery Novel Award

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Congratulations go to Herbert R. "Chap" Reaver, D.C. who recently won the prestigious Edgar Allan Poe Award for his mystery novel Mote. The "Edgar Awards" -- the crime writing genre's equivalent of an Oscar -- are voted on by members of the Mystery Writers of America. Winners are given a statuette of Edgar Allan Poe.

"I'm still kind of spinning," Dr. Reaver told a local newspaper in his hometown of Marietta, Georgia, "I didn't realize what a big deal it was. The nicest part is that you are honored by your peers and your fellow writers."

Mote is Dr. Reaver's first novel, and won in the Best Young Adult Mystery category. See the February 15, 1991 issue of "DC."

Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?
Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?

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?

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
