Your shiny new problem, by Dr. Ogi Ressel

Wednesday, June 17th 2009

Warm hellos to everyone!

One of the things that I find incredibly frustrating are other doctors who
do not think much of themselves. There seems to a glut of chiropractors
out there who are not doing very well in practice - but could be very easily.
They simply need to decide. The problem with this scenario is that they
are not reaching as many people as they could be. They are not reaching
and saving the lives of children in their community that they could be
saving - and that is the real shame. ...and of course, the medical-pharmaceutical
industry loves this!

Think of this: What is worse than a chiropractor who is not living to his/her
potential - "Pass the Tylenol, honey, or the Prednisone, or the Ritalin,
or the whole armamentarium of choice chemicals to make the lives of all
us poor slobs so much better!" Right!

Listen.....We are the only one who stand in the way of total pharmaceutical
domination of the planet. So.....Will you create a bang in your life, or a whimper?

Will future chiropractors look up one day and say: "He/she made a difference -
he was awesome", or will they wonder who you were?
The choice is entirely yours!

Many interns at college, look to their senior mentors - about to graduate -
with a degree of awe. And here's what the majority of these future doctors tell
their runners-up:

"Life is tough, Can't get new patients to fill my grad requirements, Patients quit, etc."
And of course of course, once they graduate, these new doctors repeat this mantra:
"I can't get new ones, the bills are pilling up, income is low, People quit care
when their insurance runs out, don't expect much, life is tough, it's not a joy ride,
you may need a part-time j.o.b.," and of course, many college professors join
this lamenting group.
Guess what happens? Your Life becomes tough, you can't get new ones,
bills are pilling up, ...and you're looking for a part-time job. See..you've
just run your preview of your coming attractions! This prophesy becomes
your reality and you join in teaching others the same things you have been
taught. ...And you think this is Life!
Is there some comfort derived from lamenting about how bad things are
with your friends who are in the same situation? Is there some safety in being
able to openly talk about your shiny new problem? Is it more comfortable and
reassuring to talk with friends about how no one is really getting anywhere
and all are stuck at that same survival level?

Listen. there is reality in these words - some doctors get comfort in the fact that
they are not the only ones not winning this game. That others are also struggling.
Safety in numbers.

It can be compared to a patient having an "every-day morning headache"
It almost makes it Ok........ Almost!

Have I missed anything?

Listen up....When I was at college, I experienced the same thing. But, I decided
that being in the outpatient clinic was a wonderful opportunity to make all sorts
of mistakes - to learn to practice. So...when I graduated, I had some 1400
adjustments under my belt, and around 400 new patients....and most of those
were under 10 years old - this in 1976, a time when chiropractors simply did
not see children. I had no stops in my life. I was on fire.
And I eventually developed the top children's and family practice in North
America - and that is what I teach.

The thing is that you can do this also. You simply need to decide that this is
something you want with your whole being and that this is something you are
going to have. Period.
And never look back!
And don't check with your friends. Follow your heart and follow your dream.
And just do it!

I have to tell you this: There is a wonderful feeling you get in your heart when
you hold as mother's face in your hands as she is thanking you for helping
her child with her Asthma.

Or holding a baby in your hands that you've been fortunate to have turned
from a breech presentation. Or hearing from a patient that their Colitis is
gone... thanks to you!

Or holding hands with a senior citizen and letting those hands speak to you
of a life lived, of hard work, of fear, of victories earned, and of love.

And you let these moments pass you by because you are too consumed with
fear andsurvival to notice. Not Ok!

You need to get this: You need to realize that you are amazing. You do magic with
your hands. You turn on Life! There is not another being on the planet who does
what you do.
That is incredible!!! Think of this for a moment: You are unique......and you have
amazingpower in those hands - use it wisely!

For those who are still not convinced, please pick up a copy of "The Secret" and watch it.
And watch "Rocky III". You can also read Wayne Dyer's books; "There is a Spiritual
Solution to Every Problem", and "Inspiration." Attend a few seminars in philosophy
and learn why these appendages dangling at both sides of you are simply magical!

So...here is what I am asking you to do:

First:
Decide that you've had enough. Decide that you were not meant to eek out some
meagre existence. That you became a chiropractor to help as many as you can -
including yourself!
That you were meant for better things. That you want to be a better provider for
your family and a better doctor. Get really pissed off! (if you find my words
upsetting - you need a life. I am going to suggest weekly beatings for you!)

Second:
Go to my website, www.practiceevolution.com <http://www.practiceevolution.com/> ,
and click on the "Practice Health Mini-Check-up" Link. Answer all the questions
honestly and from your heart and hit "Submit" at the end.
I'll sit down with you and go over your answers with you.... And show you where
your pitfalls lie. ...And why.... And how to get out of this in an easy, logical fashion,
with no stress and worry.
I'll give you lots of advice and suggestions and perhaps some homework as well.
And I'll get you on the road to having the practice of your dreams - and being the
doctor you have always wanted to be. You have to believe me when I say that it
really is easy.
You just need to let go of some things that you have told yourself - they may not be true.

Third:
Do it NOW, before those dreaded diseases called "Procrastination" and "Fear" strike again!

Fourth:
Do it NOW! Don't even wait to finish reading this THOT!!!!!

Fifth:
Do it NOW!

Sixth:
See, you did it! and you are beginning to feel a bit better already.

Good!

Talk with you soon,

Warmest wishes,
Dr. Ogi Ressel
