We've Gained and Lost Readers for Running This Article and the Comments Keep Coming In--Here's a Favorable One Re: "How to Freak People Out and Turn Them Into Patients"

(Volume 22, issue 1) Dr. Koren, GREAT ARTICLE! I laughed out loud when I read it. I have a practice where we have FUN, tell jokes, and patients just enjoy coming in to be adjusted. And they thank me constantly for being myself and not "like the MD's". This is what people respond to...a sense of humor! The MD wannabe's need to relax and get a sense of humor...they need to real­ize that people no longer want a stuffy "white coat with a stethoscope wrapped around their necks" using big medical words preaching to them. They want a doctor they can relate to! Keep up the good work! Dr. Jim Clouser Dawsonville, GA Editor's Note: Thanks for all of your comments to Dr. Koren's article.
