The HP Touchsmart 600 Makes Me Smile

Many of you know that I prefer apple products over PC personally. Professionally in our practice we have only utilized PC's, which is why I want to mention our newest find. Although I would love to have all apple products in our practice most of our software is not mac compatible. We recently purchased an HP Touchsmart 600 and we love it. It is so close to what I am used to on my iPhone 4 and iPad and it is compatible with all of our existing software. This is an excellent close second to owning a mac product for our office. The monitor is so great and it makes everything: from movies, web and most recently added into our office, digital imaging, look great.

If you haven't played with this monitor just go to best buy and try it out.

Iphone 4 - Kodak Zi-8 - The Flip

Capturing video is so important these days whether for your business testimonials or especially at home with your kids' special moments. I'm not sure about you, but I absolutely love technology and quality. The fact that you can have a device that takes absolutely incredible quality video the size of a cell phone is amazing. I'm addicted. I have included 3 links to the devices I have used and find best quality and most handy. I have listed them in the order of choice. I love my iphone 4 just because I always have it with me and I can fire off the HD videos or pics to family or facebook. The Kodak let's you attach an external mic for better sound quality. The flip is just way easy. These are all great devices and affordable. Let me know what you think.

The Biggest Dirty Little Secret In Business

Today I shared with my staff an excerpt from a popular book titled, Winning by Jack Welch. The second chapter title is The Biggest Dirty Little Secret in Business. In case you don't know who Jack Welch is he was GE's 8th company chairman and CEO that during his tenure increased the market capitalization by $400 billion. He is "the man" when it comes to success in business. So what can we learn from him today? His biggest find was the concept of candor, or saying what you really mean. In business and really in life most people do not exercise candor. Most of us keep the real stuff to ourselves because we don't want to offend or rock the boat. He says he found that everything operates faster and better if we all exercise more candor. Try it.

Time To Change Your Habits

The time to change your habits is now. Today. We all have habits that have gotten us where we are. I had the chance today to talk to several patients about the habits they are changing. Many of the habits we can all benefit from doing are really easy to start, but we must start. One simple habit that can help is noticing your posture during your day. I talked to one patient today that related these small habit changes to wearing braces.

I'm 31 and Haven't Felt this Good Since I was 15

You can imagine how good that comment would make you feel as a doctor. Yesterday in the office a young guy that has only been coming in for a week told me he honestly hadn't felt this good since he was 15 and he is 31. He has only had 4 visits in our office. Wow. He has a very labor intense job and he was very skeptical that he could be helped because of that, or whatever we did actually help in our office would be undone at work. What he has found is amazing outcomes and he is so excited about what is to come. He used to be so sore and dread the next day at work and now he is feeling so much stronger and capable.

I Feel So Much Better In Less Than 2 Minutes

I had an older patient tell me today how much better she is feeling and doing. She can't believe it. She is able to do housework and chores like never before and she feels great. She said, "I can't believe you have helped me this much and it only takes minutes." I explained to her that the adjustment of the problem in the spine only takes a couple of minutes and no more time is needed. She went on to tell me she knows the effect because she is living it, but it's just so hard to believe that a 2 minute adjustment can have such dramatic effects. She is so excited about her new found health and quality of life. She came in with dizziness and lower back pain and they are slowly resolving with every visit in our office.
