Guest guest Posted January 6, 2000 Report Share Posted January 6, 2000 You're very right. It's all in the context and perspective I guess. Sometimes I succumb to fear-mongering and myopia. Who knows in five years where we'll be? Long life, R. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2000 Report Share Posted January 6, 2000 Isabell: Interesting comments, but don't let it get you down too much. I was in Rockford over the Holidays and happen to find an article in the local newspaper (December 24th Register, I think) about an HMO that is letting chiropractors be listed as " primary MDs " (primarily Chicago area at this point). This is amazing and shows how far chiros have come in the last few years in Illinois. The AMA seems to be losing its strangle hold on the gate into the medical system. If you remember, the chiros fought the AMA long and hard in Illinois to get where they are (including court battles). While I don't appreciate individuals who disrespect other modalities (like acupuncture), I do understand the tendency to try to hold on to what you have (sometimes, unfortunately at the exclusion of others). Acupuncture is only beginning to become recognized in the U.S. The acupuncture laws in Illinois are bad right now, but it least it is not illegal to practice like it was only 2 or 3 years ago! You are in a great situation! Just be patient and persistent and good things will happen! Haven't seen you in a while, hope all is well with you.
