Almost the end of February -- it is either raining or snowing outside.
This may be completely inappropriate -- but I am going to do it anyway.
check out the following:

Articles, publications, notes and dialogue on health care; risk management, legal, administrative and practice management relating to chiropractic, medicine, naturopathy, homeopathy, vocational rehabilitation practitioners, complementary and alternative medicine and all health care practitioners. And when all else is said and done there is still time for fun, entertainment and all around foolishness!!
February 11, 2012.
I have the eerie feeling that if you stand still you are going to get run over. That being said, today I have completed half of my motorcycle training course and have become a part-time faculty member of Centennial College in Toronto. Kind of weird at my age - but I live for weird. I am looking forward to my first teaching assignments this spring.
Now back to studying -- I have another full day of class tomorrow and the teacher is a little demanding.

Seven weeks since my last post. Some people would say that my lack of daily posts is a sign of a lack of dedication; others would say it is a sign that there is no addiction involved with my posts. My reason is simple -- if you have nothing to say then don't say anything! This is not as if I have a commitment to provide 800 words of wisdom on a daily basis.
Anyway, this week I had the great pleasure of having to go downtown (as in south of Steeles Ave. three times for hearings). I guess I will have to wait about a month to see if I contravened any traffic intersection photo cameras. The score was two chiropractic hearings and one labour board hearing.
I read an article in Chiropractic Reports today which was a copy of a speech given by a chiropractor/lawyer. For the chiropractors in the audience -- it is a must read. The site is at
http://chiropracticreport.com/portal/images/back_issues/No_%206%20-%20Nov%202011.pdf
The article is by Dr. Richard Brown. For those of you in the chiropractic profession who live on a different planet and may be unaware - Chiropractic Report is published by David Chapman Smith, LLB., legal counsel to a number of national and international organizations.
I suppose I could sum up my appreciation of the article by indicating that my concern for the profession rests with the fact that unless there is a continued and advanced commitment to chiropractic education and research the profession is doomed to continue on a merry go round which provides little comfort when dealing with the powers to be in health care. In a very "sick" sort of way, you will know that chiropractic has reached the level of the other health care professions when we no longer have to consider the following, namely:
when a medical doctor does something wrong it's "bad doctor"; when a dentist does something wrong it's "bad dentist"; when a chiropractor does something wrong its "bad profession" !
Now that is a strange goal to stive for!
and to the Doctor that I met at the Chinese New Year Dinner last week --- no I am not retired -- while not teaching (full time / part time) I do continue to work a half-day each day as in about 8 am. to 8 pm. -- and still loving it.
