From the Editor:
Happy week everyone and wow what a fast election. I actually got up before the crack of dawn (where's the sun?) to get to my voting station when they opened and I still had to wait in a line for an hour to vote. I was really surprised that the vote was able to be called so quickly for the national vote. I guess the last few elections have conditioned me to be prepared to wait up most of the night for election results. I'm certainly not knocking a full nights sleep!
So we all voted, made our voice heard, and now it's time to get to the business of what we can reasonably expect to happen in the next 4 years. Myself I'm looking forward to see the new updates that we might see in the healthcare industry. What are you looking to see in the new administration? Do you think your life will change in the next few years, months, weeks even? I hazard to guess the answer is yes. Lots of factors of our economic success or failure are reliant on how people feel and maybe some of the good feelings of the prospect of a change in administration will send itself into the world and help us succeed more.
So I will just wait and see and hope for the best. Let's all cross our fingers for some good news on Wall Street for us all.
Cheers all and have a great weekend!

Systems...what are they and do they really help?
A system in relation to a private practice is a way of chunking actvities so that they are done in an efficient manner with the least amount of effort.
While many talk about automating systems, which I think is a great idea, many don't really understand the basic premise that makes them work...
Relationships
Your success in your private practice is all about the quality of the relationships that you establish and if you are a brilliant acupuncturist and have fantastic systems in place and you lack exceptional relationship skills it won't matter what systems you put in place...
So no matter what systems you have in place or are putting into place make sure they are patient centered!
Many blessings to your success!

News of Interest!
Virginia-Maryland Veterinary Teaching Hospital Offers
Acupuncture - Needles are often equated with pain and discomfort; however,
for a horse named Gypsy the tiny sharp objects brought relief as Mark Crisman,
DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVIM, a professor in the Department of Large Animal Clinical
Sciences in the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at
Virginia Tech, administered acupuncture therapy. Gypsy had an infection in her
fetlock and Crisman was using acupuncture--along with traditional therapy--to
help strengthen her bones and immune system, and provide pain relief.
Health Plan Offers Some New Benefits, Some Reduced Costs -
Each year, University Human Resources reviews and updates the University of
Virginia Health Plan to meet current needs of staff and faculty. As a result of
this year's review, the plan will offer several benefit enhancements, including
wellness initiatives, coverage for acupuncture and half the cost of dental
implants, said Susan Carkeek, vice president and chief human resource officer.
Veterans Day ahead: Local acupuncturists' unique plan - From
West Seattle acupuncturist Miranda Taylor (who you may know for her advocacy
with the High Point Neighborhood Association), we get word of acupuncturists
citywide banding together to offer free services to Iraq/Afghanistan combat
veterans on November 11th, and planning a permanent clinic to support them.
A Natural Path: Acupuncture and homeopathy can help smokers
quit - Nov. 20, 2008 is the American Cancer Society's 'Great American Smoke
Out'. There are a myriad of ways in which to quit. Medications, hypnotherapy,
nicotine patches and gums, behavior modification, herbal medicines, homeopathic
remedies and acupuncture all help people quit. It is difficult to determine
which method will work best for you, but I guarantee that if you want to quit,
and I mean really want to quit, you can and will succeed, regardless of the
method you chose.
Acupuncture, a mixed blessing - Acupuncture has started to
appeal to many urbanites looking for quick and easy cures or wanting to
painlessly tailor and sculpt their body tissues into trim, glam bodies. But it's
not all that simple. Acupuncture is not about lying down passively while doctor
pricks all your the pressure points to endow divine beauty and health. Janti
Widjaja, a doctor at Puri Indah Hospital in West Jakarta, said acupuncture
caused no harmful effects, only a bit of discoloring of the skin, bruising. "But
this side effect is temporary and not dangerous," she said when questioned
recently by a patient on acupuncture's potential hazards. "On the other hand,
better therapeutic effects will appear with more frequent acupuncture
treatments."
