After I wrote this article, it went to the editorial department, then on to the graphics department; then we shipped it off to the printer; then to bindery and finally into the mail. From the time I wrote this piece until you read it, my words were already four weeks old.
During those same 28 days, a number of other events will have occurred:
In addition to this, our three electronic newsletters (DC News Update, ChiroDeals, ChiroEvents) will have been e-mailed to over 7,500 chiropractic doctors, students and suppliers worldwide (These are free publications. To subscribe, just e-mail your e-mail address to list@dcmedia.com). This is in addition to the 5,000 hits to the online version of this issue of DC (www.chiroweb.com/dynamic) that became available online on April 7th.
When you consider all of the above, it is easy to realize how much faster we can get information to you via the internet. By the time the printed version of Dynamic Chiropractic gets to you, you could have read the article, e-mailed me a question about it, received an e-mail answer back, and joined a discussion about the topic on one of our 40 discussion forums.
What an incredible era we live in! With an e-mail address and internet access, you can get a lot more information much sooner and interact directly (and easily) with those that deliver the news.
Is it any wonder why over 16,000 visitors (mostly DCs) made over 62,000 visits (just short of once each week) to Dynamic Chiropractic's website over that same four-week period?

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.
