Guest guest Posted November 16, 2000 Report Share Posted November 16, 2000 Unity begins at home. Lets keep making Oregon and example. Meridel ---------- From: Dr. Shephard, D.C. <shep@...> meridelg@...; egroups; cdc@... Subject: Unity Date: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 11:15 AM , There's a great deal of smoke-n-mirrors being generated between these three camps (ACA, ICA, WCA) which makes it difficult on the part of the reader or observer to know what to believe. It seems the aim more often than not of an opposing group is to generate a warped image or public perception of their competing body. Politics! More political accuracy and clarity seems to come from our chat room than any other information source I read. The Field doctors must demand from their leadership unity on behalf of our defense and future. It may seem improbable, but I continue to hope that, much like the dentists and podiatrists, we can come to our senses and compromise enough to at least take care of our self-preserving interests. scott s. www.shephardfox.com Re: Fw: COCSA & WFC Conventions Meridel: More power to you doc. Thanks for all your excellent work. I am glad we can claim you as an Oregonian and a chiropractor. There is so much ignorance and myopia within the profession...I have DC friends who think that Sportelli and Chapman- et. al. are " devils incarnate " and (my friends)use the Dynamic Chiropractic to line the Cat box because Don is also a 'medipractic-type' and a " devil " ...if they ever had the pleasure of meeting any of those guys they would be floored at how unfounded those fears were and how much they had in common with them. Same goes for the " orthopedically-oriented " guys/gals who think that Rondberg and Koren et. al are blithering idiots. We need to really look at each member of the profession as a colleague rather than a competitor. It is time to move from a paradigm of " independence " to one of " interdependence " Our patient's health and welfare would certainly benefit and our profession would be stronger than ever.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hi, ; An interesting question is how and why NY and NJ unified into one group. There have been posts on this board suggesting that clashes of egos of particular players is what now prevents, if not unity, at least an agreement to avoid public behaviors by our associations and their representative that cast chiropractic in an embarrassing light. The problem with that argument is that the very same sort of thing has been going on since I entered the profession, now approaching 30 years ago. The names of the organizations and of the players/egos has changed numerous times. Somehow, the same kind of thing occurs in which conflicts within our profession, that we choose to share with individuals and agencies outside our profession, wind up being used against the interests of our profession as a whole. I’d be interested in what you know or surmise about the dynamics of the NY and NJ history in this regard. There is never going to be uniformity of opinion within the profession in Oregon, and I doubt very much that uniformity of opinion was required in NY and NJ. Somehow, those boys and girls must have found a way to play nice together and team up against the bullies on the next block. S. Feinberg, D.C. From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of DeSiena Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 8:25 AM Subject: Unity For years both NY and NJ had multiple chiropractic associations. They could not pass chiropractic friendly ordinances. When they congealed into one group the legislation followed. It would be excellent if we in Oregon were mature enough to follow the leads of NY and NJ. Dr. DeSiena, D.C.

Thank you, Dr. Simpson, for reminding us that the welfare of those that entrust themselves to us is the one place where we all can stand. Patients first!

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Fact - Achalasia is a rare disease Fact - t is possible to cope with this disease without any Internet Group However: Fact - Unity makes us knowledgable, strong, empowered, reassured and never alone. I find it to be very sad (in the old-fashioned meaning of the word) that any of us should feel the need for fragmentation/division. MY APPEAL: Just keep an open mind on this. One day this disease will be beaten. We don't need to be rocket scientists or even dreamers to know that this is true. The answer may be found in life-changing chemical drugs. The answer may be found in a plant that is growing wild feet away from some of us. Anybody who can dispute either of those last 2 statements I invite to stand up and be counted. Meanwhile, PLEASE let us stick together and help each other. Rise to the challenge for Sport Relief with for Good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
