We've got to expand America's opinion on chiropractic. If not, the next generation will be subordinate to a medical gatekeeper. Now is an opportune time for the profession to speak up. Our mission is to protect society's health, not only the welfare of our patients. It is urgent that we support the administration of those services which emphasize coordinated, comprehensive, and preventive services.
Leaders are people with foresight, sensitivity, and uncompromising integrity.
Chiropractic institutions must teach leadership skills now, or it will be too little, too late. We need role models for our students on all the campuses. Note, I said role model and not people who have a facade of honesty. We have had enough of phony gurus who mislead our young people, and confuse money-making talk with professional service. As general practitioners, DCs are constantly balancing the patient's welfare and their technical responsibilities to the patient, in an environment which is supportive of the community.
