Being in solo practice can be isolating. So, I joined this listserve

to devlop an internet community and brainstorm with other DCs in

Oregon.

I just joined three days ago.

I have to say that I am appalled by the back and forth postings with

Mr. Brad Welker. I am not just appalled by Brad himself, but everyone

else as well. It seems like a " pissing match. " There is a place and

time for everything, but this listserve does not seem like it is the

correct venue. Possibly setting up a round-table/forum in person might

be a good idea for those that are interested in actually learing and

teaching not dictating or preaching their " right " way. On a side note,

I have to say that I am very impressed with how much time has been

devoted to this. I have been wanting to respond for a couple of days

now, but I am so busy that I do not have enough time in the day to be

on the computer that much.

Enough said. That is all I want to mention about that matter.

Oh, one more thing...let's not forget that it is not just the almighty

adjustment that helps people. Don't forget our patients come to us for

help and guidance. We are not God. We are merely facilitators of their

health. Don't forget that compassion, clinical knowledge, good bed-

side manner and the love of chiropractic are on the same playing field

as " adjusting, " no matter what technique is used.

Wait one last thing...sorry! Both my grandparents, great aunts and

uncles and my great-grandparents were all chiropractors. They would

always tell me that we need to stick together despite our differences

because chiropractic is a wonderful way of life.

Okay, I am done, really! :-)

But I do have one question...

Is this the norm on this listserve?

Because if it is, I don't need to waste my precious time reading

through all the banter postings to find a small gem of good

information that might be helpful to me in my practice and to my

patients, as well as helping answer questions from others.

Please let me know.

Sincerely,
