These feelings are all subsets of fear. Fear creates a negative energy. Fear Patients in pain often fear what may be wrong with them, if they are ever going to get better, if the treatment they get will hurt, the expense of care, losing time away from their busy schedules, and so forth. Patients with fear need a lot of attention, appreciation and understanding. These qualities are all subsets of love.
Love creates a positive energy.
An insensitive and unfeeling chiropractor can be technically competent and help many patients, especially those who are already receiving emotional support elsewhere, but many other patients will not respond with the same careful degree of physical analysis and treatment afforded to successful cases. These patients also need an attitude adjustment they need more positive energy from love. Listen carefully, agree whenever it s appropriate, make no personal judgements, render all treatment with the right intention, and show you care. That s much more than a person could hope to get from most other personal or professional encounters in life. Also be very careful not to take the credit for a patient s improvement or the responsibility for their failure.
