Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in Whittier held a luncheon to recognize financial contributors to the college this past year. Names of the donors that were added to the college's Hall of Honor were: Dr. and Mrs. Charles Cooke, L.A.; Dr. Lisa Dayan, L.A.; Dr. and Mrs Mel Morrow, Lancaster; and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Jones, Hemit, representing the Dr. Edward Chesney estate.
Dr. Reed Phillips, president of LACC, said the contributions have allowed the school to start construction of a new student center, offer new scholarships to worthy students, and to open a new health center near downtown Los Angeles.
Others recognized for their 1999 contributions were: Dr. Andrew Lee, Redlands; Dr. Joseph Howe, Agua Dulce; Dr. Stephen Smith, Buena Park; the estate of Leo Rosenhouse; the estate of Dr. Elton Glenn Williamson; and the LACC Associated Student Body.
Dr. Holloway, who earned her DC degree from Life West in 1996, has maintained a private, part-time chiropractic practice in Alameda since 1997.
Roseanne Becker has worked the past 12 years as a professional fundraiser.
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.
