[quote:Anonymous Coward 22017972:MV8yMDA1MzcyXzMzNjk5ODk5X0M1QUMzQzZG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 22017972:MV8yMDA1MzcyXzMzNjk5Nzc3X0I3Q0I3QkRC] Lastly get used to people like the ones above who did not get good results. Its often out of bad experiences with their Chiro. I have lit a few folks up in my day, but 90 percent get amazing results. Its a burden sometimes, again being an eye doctor would be much better. It really is about results. Some folks too will just show up to try to sue you, some will try to skip out on paying, some will be there just to see if you will give them disability, some will be Personal injury and worker comp scamers. Most will be genuine and in need of care. Its sad to say some have no hope but a life time of pharma awaiting them because thats what they really want or in some horrible cases all that will manage their pain. Over 300 different techniques and spinoff techniques, multiple office styles, and various levels of competency, its a shot in the dark sometimes with who is good, bad, and great. I find that to be the biggest struggle, just keeping them happy so they refer their family and friends. If not you can lose so much. [/quote] Some also get horrible results because they came in with bodies that are completely trashed from years of neglect, expecting miracles for the price of a happy meal. Sometimes seeing such amazing results on so many leads you to feel you can "fix em all", drop that notion fast. I have made several decisions to not accept people by just how they approach my staff. If they appear to be "gimme dats" bounce them fast, if they approach calmly and you feel genuine accept, if they also seem like initially gut response they are too far gone or too damaged upon xray, just say it. They can always find another braver soul who make take the chance. Never forget we trash our bodies to get others better, doing full spine physical based adjusting destroys your back and neck. I do alot of instrument "Activator/Athrostim" and drop table technique to spare my body, but every click of the activator, every drop, every thrust you feel it at the end of the day. If you are not in shape x10 the effect. People just have no idea what it really takes out of us, it will make you hardened to some folks who smite our name as a profession.:yoda: No more gotta sleep, 20 people tomorrow who need fixing, or whatever.

Original Message
I am a long time lurker and occasional poster here on GLP. I recently had an epiphany that I should not continue to pursue my education to become a nurse. I do not believe in allopathic medicine. I do not vaccinate myself or my kids. I use herbal preparations, yoga, heat and pressure therapy for our ailments and occassionaly homeopathic remidies. So bassically I feel conflicted about becoming a nurse so much that I declined acceptance into two colleges this fall. Most of my pre requisite courses to apply are not the pre nursing classes but the pre med classes. At the college I went to there were no openings in the pre nursing classes since everyone and their mom is trying to become a nurse now due to a fictional shortage. Due to this I am only short one class to apply to a Chiropractic program! I really feel that it would be more of a fit for me and my beliefs. My only main concern is that instead of getting a almost free education from grants, taxpayers money, I would have to take out loans that I would have to pay back. I kknow some of you folks feel that someone should not go to school if they can't pay their way while in school but that is just not a possiblity for me. Okay flame or inable, I want to hear it all!
