Learning experiences can be painful

I am thinking the only thing to do in this situation is to either become an Independent contractor or just start my own practice or partner up with someone.

As I have been pretty silent about things on this front, I am currently working. I will keep quiet as to who and where but basically it has become a living "career" nightmare. All through school I kept it pretty open about my thoughts: adjustments, pre-surgery, and boosting immunity has been all about the Chiropractors as we are a gentle (so I thought) therapy without the use of surgery and prescription drugs. I told people and believed that being a Physical Therapist was rehabiliation and Chiropractors can get in on it but not the rehab exercises part. As my school grew more and more into rehab and Chiropractic boards' PT examination became more and more rehab exercises and less physiotherapeutics I began to wonder to myself and worry. My dream was to work in an integrative practice working with an array of different specializations to better treat a patient. I would be a doctor among many as we came up with a number of different solutions to solve the main issue: We know X, Y and Z so how do we treat this patient?

I never thought I would take the first job. I never thought I would actually be working for a surgeon. I am and I have not been there long at all and I am looking for another job. What is frustrating is this. . . I think I have set myself up. An associateship is no longer an associateship. An associateship is now an independent contractor position where the owner does not have to pay benefits and gets some of the docs profits all while still training them.

So, such as love. . . you have to kiss a few frogs before meeting your prince. Right?

The Great Conjunction- Function: What does it all mean?

Image
 If you are living under a rock or not into Google, you most likely did not see this picture:  So, if you did see this and think: how cute! Let me click on this. You already know. So, today is December 21st which is the winter solstice. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the astrological first day of winter is the longest night of the year. What you may not know is that two planets are aligned so it appears as if they are giving each other a "high-five". They call this a conjunction when planets are aligned. How cute, right? They have not been this close since 1663, so this is an epic event. So, you will be seeing something that Galileo saw when he devised telescopes. This event happens every 20 years but every 321 years or so where you can see it in great detail. Both of these planets are beautiful, not like Earth but beautiful. Now, if you are like me and live in an area of light pollution, most likely you will see a star and a planet. Here, in Chicago proper, ...

Where does the Time go?

Image
 I know where my time goes- into treating patients. I am loving this life of treating numerous and multiple patients. Maybe from the suppression of seeing accident and worker's comp patients.  That is really me treating- no Photostock/AI pictures! Side Note: This was created in February 2025. It was stopped and completed in April 2025.  With changes in the schedule, it has been difficult to maintain this blog. I am keeping current and will begin to have a schedule where I post once a month. Wish me luck!

Food, Air and Water Show and NAILS

Image
Today has looks very similar to yesterday- work out, eat when you can, read, clean, computer searches for jobs along with ideas and concepts. This morning I went for a run and it looked like rain so I shortened the run and went a little faster just because I did not want to be like the old guy in the tale "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and get struck by lightning. Hubby somewhat shocked me today because he asked about the Air and Water Show. I asked why and he thought it would be good for both of us to go either this year or next year. I have always hated the Air and Water Show because when I lived two blocks from the lakefront I could never nap or focus because of the noise of the planes. One thing about living in the city I do not like and that is all the noise pollution. I have pretty sensitive hearing so at times my hearing goes out for a day once it went out for three days and when I say goes out I mean it feels and sounds like someone put cotton in both my ears...
