Before my chiropractic education began I worked in hospitals both as a social worker and as a volunteer. I wanted to go into healthcare to help people and teach people about their health while being conservative about medications and surgery. As a social worker, medical residents came to me with their problems on a regular basis and I quickly learned the political dance between hospital administrators, attorneys, pharmaceutical companies, the old doctors and the new doctors. I quickly realized if I were to practice in that system I would have to conform to the system but I wanted to treat people as individuals. I wanted to be the one to focus on getting people healthy one at a time by helping them learn about how to fix their bodies and then prevent the health problems if possible without the drugs. Currently our patients are able to take fewer medications and many patients who were told they needed surgery found it was never necessary after working in our office.
