The Chiropractic Council on Education (CCE) has elected their new officers.
John Miller, D.C., president of Palmer College of Chiropractic- West has been elected as president; James Winterstein, D.C., president of National College of Chiropractic has been elected as vice president; and Carl Cleveland, III, D.C., of Cleveland Chiropractic College is new secretary/treasurer.
We wish these new officers success as they endeavor to serve the CCE, and through their posts -- the chiropractic profession, and ultimately the public they serve in setting and regulating standards of soundness and quality in the education of students of chiropractic with the purpose of producing competent, primary health care practitioners.
Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century. By “psychedelics,” we are referring to the unique class of substances that includes psilocybin (the active compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms”), LSD, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and mescaline – each of which occurs in the natural world (except for LSD, which is a semi-synthetic compound).
While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
