Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Dear Listmates, With permission of the distributor, I am forwarding this email regarding a documentary and satirical film about the pharmaceutical industry. I thought it might pique the interest of some. I am not part of the " Afilliate " program they discuss and will receive no compensation for the recommendation. Cheers. W. Snell, D.C.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Wonderful post , This issue along with documented blatant drug research fraud are issues I will cover next Oregon Legislative Session during testimony. My PowerPoint presentation will include the above and other documented reasons as per why chiropractic physicians should be the " gatekeepers " for musculoskeletal injuries within Oregon's Work Comp system.....and by doing so how the system will save a tremendous amount of money while at the same time providing superior care for Oregon's injured workers. Doctors it's high time to call a " spade a spade, " time to show the soft underbelly of medical family physicians and internists as per their ability (or lack thereof) to handle musculoskeletal injuries, time to go on the offense, time to put the medics on the defensive for once! In addition these folks don't even wish to deal with W/C patients and their numbers are diminishing (only 27% of new medical school graduates indicate they wish to go into primary care/family practice) etc., etc. Yes, I know, I know, there are those who say " it can't be done " well just watch us. Yes, it is more likely than not we may not gain such legislation during the 2007 session but the policy makers will hear the facts, hear the statistics that support what we are suggesting....and we will continue to hammer the legislators during the subsequent interim, during the 2009 session, that subsequent interim, then during the 2011 session.....etc., etc., etc we will hammer them with fact and truth until we are successful and we will be successful!....truth and what is right will always win the day in the end....our job is to simply STAY THE COURSE! With that said dear colleagues I need more stories of how your Workers' comp patients were told they had to go to a particular " company doc " or " OCC Med Center " and/or how they were told they couldn't go to you or any " chiropractor " etc., etc. This is June 1 and I testify on your behave June 8...one week from today....and I desperately need your help....... Tanks, in advance for your time and consideration....
