Successful Openings – Is There A Plan That Really Works?
It’s very interesting to hear what students are thinking regarding opening their own practice. Kindof. I mean, I do remember what it was like as a student, even though it’s been nearly eighteen years since I last ate Ramen Noodles… not so delicious, but boy were they economical! A steady diet of those, and one can eat for a week on about ten bucks. A little tuna and Cream of Mushroom soup mixed in, and there’s your protein as well.
I was clueless back then. Not just in a culinary sense, but in my concepts of what things were really worth my time and attention. I was so focused on getting through all the requirements, while maintaining my 3.something GPA. Then came state Boards. Being from a suburb of Buffalo, many people have asked me how I settled on North Carolina as the state I would live and practice? My honest answer? I placed my finger over Buffalo on a map, and traced an imaginary line due south!
Are We #1?
What is the likelihood that Chiropractic will ever become the #1 healthcare choice in America? At the outset of this blog, this was one of my stated passions. To see our profession and our individual doctors elevated to the status we should hold.
If I get hit by a truck, take me to the ER. If I have a heart attack, call 911. If I have a genetic anomaly or inexplicably develop a disease such as diabetes or a cardiomyopathy requiring life-sustaining medication, then give me that medication.
What was in the FedEx package??
Do you remember the movie, “Cast Away”? Tom Hanks played a FedEx worker whose company plane goes down, stranding him on a desert island for years. As he recovers remnants of the wreckage, he opens some of the packages. 
He finds his buddy, “Wilson”, and the ice skate that helps him with that toothache problem (Ptoooooie).
