Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Friends,The Welker flurry provides us a mirror into our own habits of interpersonal communication. In a paradigm that is shifting toward "wellness" we would benefit by looking more closely at how we are able to get along with others, particularly others that we may find different in some way. If pain control is a baseline, then enabling people to further their own innate capacities is the wellness we are striving to get a handle on, may be reasonably seen as one of the new goals of patient care.Dr. Welker has provided us with a mirror to ourselves and to this list serve. Arguably, the most content-laden aspect of the Welker episode entails interpersonal communication skills. We really talked more about that than anything else. Dr. Pederson broached this subject in his first post on the topic.While we are all grateful to Dr. for his work as moderator, I find myself mildly insulted that an issue that is at once experiential and potentially informative for our profession was resolved unilaterally around ego issues. Those issues have been well taken by Dr. Freedland. No process of consultation on the restrictions for Dr. Welker was asked for, nor allowed to date. This reflects immaturity on the part of this list serve and represents a blindness to our evolving consciousness about leading the wellness revolution we all see before us.For what it's worth, I think we owe it to ourselves to do better.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I sincerely agree Dr. Sears. Without dream there can be no vision.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Before we beat ourselves up too much here ... remember Dr. Welker's approach to us was not 'creative thought'. We all respond well to that when it is delivered gracefully and investigatively ... it was Dr. Welker's attitude of scorn and ridicule that earned him his reputation. At the same time, I agree with Dr. Sears and Dr. tha talking him through his arrogance might have been a better tack .... however, I also agree with Dr. that 'enough is enough'. The conversation was looping round and round with no answer, mainly because the question had been forgotten and we couldn't get him to ask it again! The conversation had become so convoluted that I forgot, beyond attempting to disprove the basis of all of chiropractic, just what we were attempting to discuss. Dr. Welker, IMHO, needs to learn how to 'enter a room' and 'join a conversation' without blasting it apart nuclearly. My 2 cents.
