Leading scientists from all over the world are concerned that antibiotic resistant infections are growing and becoming untreatable. Our country's health care is the most costly in the world yet ranked lower than all of the industrialized nations. The answer is simple. The medical doctor values the care. Because the doctor values his care the patients value the care as well.
Chiropractors can learn a valuable lesson from the medics.
As a profession, if we are going to 'rise to the top', we must stand up and make a proud declaration of who we are and what we do. In order for patients to perceive that chiropractic care is valuable, we must know, understand and believe, without a doubt, our care is valuable and we must charge a professional fee for the service we provide. Obviously patients can never pay us enough for our care, but they can and will pay a professional fee when they see a value for it. We would begin to 'Rise To The Top'. I believe if we valued chiropractic appropriately, not only would our patients value it they would go get their family and friends and drag them into our offices so they also would have the best in health care.
