You have found yourself smack dab in the middle of Episode #119

 

Now if you missed last week’s episode , we had one of our biggest episodes in the history of Chiropractic Forward and than’s because we were joined by the one and only clinical ninja and world renowned expert himself, Dr. Stu McGill. 

I was a bit of a fanboy so I’m still not sure how strong my part of it came out but I can tell you that Stu is ALWAYS strong and this information is a ‘Do Not Miss’ type of thing. Make sure you don’t miss that info. Keep up with the class. 

While we’re on the topic of being smart, did you know that you can use our website as a resource? Quick and easy, you can go to chiropracticforward.com, click on Episodes, and use the search function to find whatever you want quickly and easily. With over 100 episodes in the tank and an average of 2-3 papers covered per episode, we have somewhere between 250 and 300 papers that can be quickly referenced along with their talking points. 

 

On the personal end of things…..

I’m doing the same thing as you’re probably doing. I’m freaking out a little or a lot. OK, some of you aren’t but I have no idea how you’re able to chill out. I’m not a hype type of guy. Hopefully by now you know I’m a very reasonable kind of guy. 

Here’s what I got; I record these podcasts two weeks prior to airing. This pandemic is changing every day so for me to offer opinions, comfort, hope, and things of that nature just seems pointless right now. Because nobody knows what the hell the landscape will be when this goes live. 

Just know this, if you are a listener, I love you. Even if we’ve never met. I love you. Please be safe. Please listen to the CDC and not chiropractors that think they can end this through adjustments. Please stay in touch with the elderly you are connected to. Encourage them, help them if they need it. They’re scared too. Probalby more so than the rest of us. 

It’s time to be humans. Not partisans. Not North, South, East, or West. Not even American, Korean, Italian, or Chinese. It’s time to be humans and do our parts to keep this thing from doing any more damage than it has to do. 

And, as a Christian myself, if you are a Christian or religious whatsoever, pray. Whether you think it’ll do any good or not. I can promise it won’t hurt. 

If you are living day to day financially, I wish I had something amazing to say but, I WILL offer this. The more businesses struggle. The more this goes on, the more you’ll see the sytem buckle and bend to accomadate you. That may look like no payroll tax, tax relief, tax incentives, extended lease payment options on your office spaces, school loan interest was already waived and it won’t surpise me if there’s a suspension on school loan defaults as well, government paid leave for employees, and on and on. 

What I’m saying is that some things are out of our control. This is out of our control. Hell, by the time this airs, we may all be on madatory shutdown and you may be listening from home. 

Here’s what you have to know; The country cannot have thousands and thousands and thousands of businesses going under. Landlords cannot have non-leased, empty buildings

The system will figure out how to keep everyone afloat. 

Stay strong and stay hopeful. Stay clean and stay separate for a bit and maybe we can get a handle on it. 

Alright, enough of that. I’m sure we’re all sick of hearing it by now.
