an amorphous disorganized group of various factions??

[Guest guest]

Listmates:

.....this is as close a term to Universal Basic Truth as I've ever seen

used to describe any group that has consumed as many decades struggling

to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as chiropractic has....

With the Big Picture hanging out of focus in our otherwise Pristine

Universe, ongoing internecine scrimmages between chiropractic factions

occupy the same niche as the fiddle-players at Nero's Roman

Extravaganza....and to the same effect....is it true we suffer a

Professional Cognitive Dissonance, a selective type of attention deficit

disorder, which tricks us into ignoring one aspect of the human

condition, while focusing on another???

I believe we simply MUST overcome the notion EITHER:OR is 'Science'

while " BOTH:AND " is something else....modern Physics, mathematics and

the entire Silicon Lifeforms of Computer Science readily embrace both

concepts are equally useful. Why can't chiropractors do that too?

In the development of what we can measure OR define as being an

essential part of chiropractic care, we continue to ram into the same

issues. And we can continue to serve 10% of the population with the

tools we have in place. Hardly a resounding victory in a world of

grief and affliction.

" Crazy " is continuing to do what we have always done and complaining

about the results. " Insane " is doing what we've always done and

expecting changes to somehow spring forth. I believe it's crazy to

accept we only reach that 10%. I believe it's insane to not expect

better from my profession.

I've been an amorphous and disorganized individual my entire life....no

wonder 'chiropractic' seems like home to me!! Personally, I feel quite

comfortable in some circumstances acting as if " That Which Can Be

Measured-orthopedic model " serves the patient best; while other

situations a more effective choice is in the ineffable " Dynamic force "

which isn't as easily documentable. And my chart notes are constructed

in a way intended to convey those various nuances.

The requirements of OBCE to demonstrate what it is I think I'm doing

help better formulate exactly what I'm offering the afflicted patient.

Or is this note too amorphous and disorganized to understand?
