National Deals With Hard Times All of us should have been aware of what wascoming. Some clear clues should have been all thecredit card applications promoting large lines of credit "interest free" for a year. Of course at the end,if you did not pay attention, you were going to pay"through the nose."

I remember the day when anything above 10%interest was, by law, "usury" and was prohibited. Weshould have known when people were getting homeloans with "no money down" and "principal only"mortgages!

Bottom line is that the crash happened and now wehear all kinds of horror stories, and sooner or later, itwill affect all of us, but what about NationalUniversity of Health Sciences? Where are we?

Well, like everyone else, we are watching our budgetvery carefully and we are cutting corners whereverwe can. There will be no raises this year, forexample, and there are no endowment-basedscholarships because our endowment is not makingmoney. Like most everyone else, our endowment haslost money even though it continues to beat themarket in general, thanks to our endowmentmanagement company.

We are managing, but we also need support fromanyone who can provide a tax-deductible gift. I amproud to be able to tell you that giving by the

employees of NUHS is up again this year with 42% of all employees giving back to the University throughthe various giving clubs or whatever can be managed,but they are giving. This compares to only 15% of ouralumni, so there is clearly room for improvement.Bear in mind that we are pleased with any gift youcan give — they add up and we are grateful for anyand all support.

Also, let's not forget to place NUHS in our wills andfurthermore, remember that many of our patients arewealthy and some are seeking a place for theirtax-deductible contributions. Let them know aboutNational.They build "wings" for hospitals, perhaps aroom or two at National would be a good idea fora change!

America and NUHS have experienced very toughtimes before and because of our commitment todoing the right things for the right reasons; we havepulled through those times.We will do so again, andthe road will be less difficult if we pull together in thesame direction. It is to these ends that I ask for yoursupport and I thank you for your commitment to ourpurposes, for what we do is good and honorable andessential.

For you and whatever you can do, I am grateful andI wish you wonderful holidays despite the hardeconomic times.

As a profession (chiropractic) we often express ourdismay that we are not more readily and completelyrecognized — that we don't have greater culturalauthority and that we are under-compensated forour services.

These concerns are all true, I believe, and I think I knowsome of the reasons why they are true. Let me elucidate.

Very recently at a state convention in the Midwest, aprominent member of one of the nationally known"practice building organizations" was a featured speaker.Here is how he answered this question: “How manytreatments should a new patient have?”

He said (I must paraphrase but think it is very close)"at least 40 visits for a new patient and then I re-evaluatethat patient every 12 visits or every month, whichevercomes first, and then I re-evaluate that patient every 90days for the rest of his or her life."

To me this is plain charlatanism.This practice promoteralready knows how many treatment visits a patient willneed just because the patient is a new patient — nevermind history or examination! Furthermore, this seeralready knows that the patient must receive chiropractictreatment for the rest of his or her life! It must be nice to

have this kind of ability to predict the future.

Sorry friends, this is NOT the way to develop culturalauthority — not now and not ever. But it is worse thanthat,in myopinion.Thiskindof practicepromotionat the

expenseof thepatientdiminishesourprofession.Thereis justno wayaroundthat.True,a chiropractor canpracticethis way for a period of time, especially in a largemetropolitan area where there is always a new supply of "innocents," but what it does to the profession at large isdevastating and that devastation is something we seeevery day.

Ifwereviewthelateststatisticonwhomthepublicviewsas most ethical among those who serve public needs,we see that chiropractic physicians fall mid-waydown the list between "bankers and journalists."(http://www.calnurses.org/media-center/in-the-news/2006/december/page.jsp?itemID=29117737). Weare far from the top and despite all the negative thingswe have read and heard about allopathic medicineand its misuse and abuse, people still rate nurses,pharmacists and allopaths among the top four mostethical professions.

I know that the entire system of allopathic health care isrifewithunethicalactivityfrom over-prescriptionof drugs,which have not been demonstrated to be efficacious, toover-use of surgical procedures and the promotion of testingthatdoesnot showanyimprovementof outcomesin patient benefit. But these unethical behaviors do notgive the chiropractic profession license to do the same.

Whereandhowdoesitallchange?I believeit isfairtosaythat big money is a major factor in any change that iscontemplated. Does anyone think, for example, thatdespitethe factmammogramshavenotbeen scientificallyproven to decrease the number of deaths due to breastcancer, that the promotion of annual mammograms willgo away? Does anyone think that despite the fact PSAshave no correlation with longevity as related to prostatecancer, thistestingprocessis goingaway?HowabouttheStatins? There is no scientific evidence that they reducethe number of deaths due to cardiovascular disease andyet they are now even being recommended for children.

Want to talk about hypertension? Why was 140/90perfectly normal for decades and suddenly is not?Do we think it has to do with the huge businessof anti-hypertensives?

So how does it all change?Well, i t is not our problem to

change it because wecannot.What wecan dohowever,is change the lives of those whom we treat. Too oftentoday, we spend more time fighting with third partypayers than we do taking care of those who seek ourservices.I know,weneedtobepaidbutevenina culturethatis expectingto gethealthcare for"nothing,"thereareplenty of people who will pay for something that helpsthem when nothing else has. This is where we can andmust make the difference. When we do this consistently,wewillalsobecomeaforceforgoodandourpositiononthe "chart of ethics" will rise.

Give our patients what they need, not what we need ormore likely "want." Get out of the profile of the personwho"willkeepyoucomingbackfortherestof yourlife!"Developa profileof onewhotakescare ofthe patientandthen provides proper exercises and proper life stylechanges and discharges the patient. That person willremember you and will come back when he or she

needs you.

This will take time but in the long run, it will benefit notonlyourpatients,but alsoourprofession.As I wastaught,and as I continue to teach:

"Take care of your patients and they will take careof you!"

Join Our Family at the National University of HealtDear Alumni:

Happy holidays to all! The President’s CabinetInternationale (PCI) is alive and strong, but could bestronger. We have many doctors, staff members andfriends of the University who are members, but we arealways looking for more.

The PCI has three different giving levels, whichare bronze ($1,000-$1,499 per year), silver($1,500-$1,999 per year) and gold ($2,000 and up peryear). While we would love everyone to be a goldmember, we certainly understand that any donation isvery much appreciated. The people that give tothis philanthropic group do so with the hopethat National will continue to be the leader of our profession.

We must realize that tuition alone does not keep thisuniversity running. We have to rely on giving groups tobe the best of the best. I know many of you are havinga hard time this year with the economy so low andreimbursements so low, but please keep in mind thatthe students are also having a hard time. Student loan

programs have diminished this year and have causedquite a burden on many students. The number of students enrolled is higher than previous years, mainlydue to the diversification of our university.Dr. Winterstein, the vice presidents, faculty, andstaff have done a fantastic job providing the besteducation of all the chiropractic universitiesand colleges. However, the students, University,and anyone involved with the University still needour help.

Please stop and think — Where would you bewithout your alma mater? Many of us take theUniversity for granted. Many alumni have not beenback to National for a long time. I myself try to thinkof National first when deciding where my donationdollars go. Please try to keep National in mind whenyou make your own decisions. National has providedus with the top-notch education that has allowed usto make very nice livings. So please, give a piece of that back and be part of our family again at National.

If you have any questions you may call my office at301-777-0110 or you may contact Tracy McHugh at

630-889-6605. Dr. Wintersteiquestions that you might hav

Again, happy holidays, and thNational family.
