DC is only as good as the story material we receive from the dedicated members of the profession. And when anyone is trying to take advantage of the chiropractic profession or individual members of it, you can be certain DC will 'get involved' and try to get the true story told. ... Whether the news is good or bad is really in the eyes, and mind, of the person viewing that news. As far as DC is concerned, anytime a story is going to help chiropractic or any group or individual member of the chiropractic profession - then to us, that's good news. From our perspective, it is [also] good news when we can report bad things that are happening, and if by reporting it, everyone learns how and why chiropractic is getting hurt. If we can help open the eyes of those being misled, then perhaps more will unite and help put an end to the problem.
