Ok, all you Osteopaths out there, what do you do when you are having a "Bad Day at the Office?"

Bonnie and I talk about this important issue.

This is one of those little things that is a big thing in what it means to be a healthcare PROFESSIONAL.

What does it mean: To be with a patient as an Osteopath? For me, it means when I'm with a patient, nothing else matters. They are the most important person in the world, in that moment, in my treatment room. They have my FULL attention.

Where is your attention during a treatment?

In our next episode, we explore "What to do if you are having a bad day at the office." Look for it soon.

What do you do if you are having a bad day at your office?

In our upcoming Episode #35 of Osteopathy Unplugged, I relate a story from one of my peripheral teachers, the American Osteopath Herb Miller, DO who gave me a key piece of advice at an advanced Cranial Course in the 1990s. I had asked him,

“Herb, what do you do when you are having a bad day at the office? How does that affect patient care?”

He sagely replied:

Here it is, what you have all been waiting for, Episode #34: "That was then. This is now."

We address Dr. Fulford's comment, "Patients were a lot easier to treat prior to World War II."

I'd like to give everyone something new to think about: Osteopathic practice and cultural changes. Here is a quote from the famous Dr. Fulford from the 1980s. Our next episode will explore this fascinating topic. Consider it . . .

This quote is attributed to William Sutherland, DO. This is a photocopy of a hand inscribed piece of artwork—or better stated, a notice or announcement—that was on the wall in Dr. Sutherland's treatment room. Patients saw this profound statement of Sutherland's philosophy. I would argue that this is an Osteopathic philosophy that likely was promoted by A. T. Still.
This quote exemplifies the priorities of an Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment. In our episode #33, we discuss the issue of miracles (or lack of miracles) in Osteopathic practice. Please consider listening to the entire episode and comment on Facebook or Patreon.

PS Copies of this quote used to be available from the Museum of Osteopathic Medicine. You may want to have this essential expression of our philosophy on the wall of your treatment room.

How we care for ourselves, or how we ignore our wellbeing, influences the way we care for others. How can we encourage and teach our patients to care for themselves if we don’t do that for ourselves?

The whole arena of self-care is vast, but what we’re going to hone in on in this episode is specifically that Osteopathic care of the Osteopath. As an Osteopath, do we get treated Osteopathically?

If you’re an experienced Osteopath, especially if you’re involved in teaching, here’s a companion question to ponder, “How do we model self-care to the young Osteopaths that we teach?”

In this episode, we take a dive into exploring the possibilities of why and how as Osteopath we might want to seriously consider choosing to be cared for by one of our colleagues.

Osteopathy is so much more than the American Four Tenets of Osteopathic Medicine. I am continuing the international discussion on creating a concise "definition" of Osteopathy that can be applied in education, with insurance companies, and with governmental organizations. Read my complete essay that deconstructs the "old" tenets and explains my proposed new and improved Six Tenets. I welcome you input.

Ok, we are going to take on another interesting topic that many Osteopaths and non-Osteopaths use frequently--the use of the word "RELEASE." We think that a release could be a fallacy or a distortion when working with the body osteopathically. Please become a subscriber and join the discussion called Osteopathy Unplugged.
