provide works really well, and I think sometimes chiropractors get really upset when the pain's not going in a couple of visits. We have to realize that pain is a part of life and people have pain. It takes a cycle, it goes through a typical time course. That podcast talked about that. Then this is the last podcast I wanted to share with you. This was Dr. Kent [Stuber 00:31:30], and he was talking about patient centered chiropractic care. If you remember from the beginning of the talk, we talk about evidence as one part of evidence-based care, but then patient values and experiences are another part, and then the doctor's experience is another part as well. Dr. [Stuber 00:31:49] is now the current editor of the Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, published many very good studies. He was looking at patient centered chiropractic care, and there's very little on this, so his PhD is going to be about that. What I took away from that is that we need to work with patients on what they're interested in. We need to perhaps ask more questions. Is there stuff that they can do at home? What's the frequency of care? I practice in a pretty rural area here in Ohio, and so we get a lot of farmers that come in. It's tough sometimes when they're in season getting them in three, four times a week. It's very difficult. Have to work with people as to what they can do. That's the end of my presentation. I just wanted to point out that chirocredit.com is a company that provides continuing education. They have helped me to get these podcasts going. We're available on iTunes. We're on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter. You can find us if you just Google us. We'll be there. If you're interested in contributing at all financially to our mission, there's a page on our website, chiropracticscience.com, that you can do that as well. We'll make that information available as well, Dean. I want to just talk a little bit with you. Thank you. That was really helpful to share with people. They can always get a fuller version by participating whether it be on Facebook, the podcast, or on the website. Let's just talk a little bit about how the doctors would actually utilize this type of information in their practice to educate their patients and things of that nature. What would you want them to know? I've jotted down about 10 points here. Whatever time we have. I would start right from your encounters with patients at the mall or wherever you meet them. That's a good place. If you're doing talks out in the community, try to incorporate some of the evidence. Have slides maybe that have quotes from research articles. I think that's a really good way to do things. I can give you some examples of my own practice. For example, in our waiting room, I have a PowerPoint presentation with about 200 slides on it that talk everything from pediatric chiropractic care, what evidence exists for that, to human performance effects and so on and so forth. I just use very short snippets from the articles themselves and give a little picture that goes along with it so it looks nice.
