The Massachusetts Chiropractic Society (MCS) has named Dr. Peter Hill of Boston as their "Chiropractor of the Year" for his outstanding service. The award was presented during the MCS convention in Sturbridge.
Dr. Hill has been the vice president of the MCS since 1993 and has served on the board since 1991. He was the president of the Greater Boston Chiropractic Society (1989-1995) and is a member of both national chiropractic associations.
Dr. Hill devised and implemented the MCS advertising program for radio, TV and billboards, and helped give the MCS a presence on the web. He also spearheaded a letter-writing campaign to include chiropractic care in all health plans.
Dr. Hill has been in private practice since 1986. He resides in Weston with wife Barbara and daughters Hannah and Melissa.
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.
