What does it take to get your hackles up?
Consider the patient who unexpectedly drops out of care (with six more visits on their plan). Or the patient who informs you that they’re still taking their medication and attributes their progress to it, not your care. Or, how about the patient who observes that they don’t believe in chiropractic? And don’t forget the patient you adjusted on the first visit who doesn’t return to hear your enlightening Harvey Lillard story!
Ironically, anger is a you thing. Not a they thing. You and your body create the anger. Not the patient!
Instead, love, from where all healing comes, looks past who gets the credit, looks beyond the politics, sees past the policy and rethinks the procedure. Love only sees the person. Not the shortcoming. Not the misunderstanding. Not the could-have-should-have.
