National Deals With Hard TimesAll of us should have been aware of what wascoming. Some clear clues should have been all thecredit card applications promoting large lines ofcredit "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% ofall 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.

Ethics andResponsibility

Throughout my 28 years ofpractice, I have seen a widevariety of methods used toattract new patients and anequal variety of methods tokeep existing patients. Inmany of those situations,ethics have been thrown outthe door.

I have had patients become dissatisfied with theirdoctor and elect to have their records transferred tomyoffice. In some cases, the patient would receive a callfrom their previous doctor berating them for going to an“inferior doctor.” One fine doctor, who had receivedrecords on a number of my patients transferring to hisoffice, wrote me a letter informing me that I wasstealing his children’s college fund after he receivedmyrequest for the records of one of his patients.

Perhaps there is something wrong with me because Ihave absolutely no problem referring a patient to acolleague who might have a protocol that would bemore advantageous for that particular patient. That iswhat I was taught at National and I know that manyof you were taught likewise because many of thoseinstructors are still at National. They were there longbefore you and I got there and I am beginning tobelieve that they will be there long after you and Idepart this world. Obviously, I say this in jest becauseI think that they are excellent instructors.

So, with few exceptions, I would have to say thatNational grads are some of the most ethical doctorsthat I have encountered. Ethics and responsibility area part of the education at National. Our alma mater,our state associations and our national associationsare working for our profession and that work requiresour support.Your support can be to give one or moreof those old professors a call, and with this very diffi-cult economic situation, National is going to needyour continued financial support.

With best wishes for good health I remain,

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 tohave 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, inmy opinion.This kind of practice promotion at the

expense of the patient diminishes our profession.There isjust no way around that.True, a chiropractor can practicethis 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.

If we review the latest statistic on whom the public viewsas 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 isrife with unethical activity from over-prescription of drugs,which have not been demonstrated to be efficacious, toover-use of surgical procedures and the promotion oftesting that does not show any improvement of outcomesin patient benefit. But these unethical behaviors do notgive the chiropractic profession license to do the same.

Where and howdoes it all change? I believe it is fair to saythat big money is a major factor in any change that iscontemplated. Does anyone think, for example, thatdespite the factmammograms have not been 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, this testing process is going away? How about theStatins? 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, it is not our problem tochange it because we cannot.What we can do however,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, we need to be paid but even in a culturethat is expecting to get health care for "nothing," there areplenty 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,wewill also become a force for good and our position onthe "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 "will keep you coming back for the rest of your life!"Develop a profile of onewho takes care of the patient andthen provides proper exercises and proper life stylechanges and discharges the patient. That person willremember you and will come back when he or sheneeds you.

This will take time but in the long run, it will benefit notonly our patients, but also our profession.As I was taught,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 Health SciencesDear 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 ofour 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 ofstudents 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 ofthat 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. Winterstein will also entertain anyquestions that you might have.

Again, happy holidays, and thanks for being part of theNational family.

Sincerely,Audie Klingler, DC, ChairPresident’s Cabinet Internationale
