Everyone has had that moment in practice where you momentarily panic when a patient comes in and they are in so much pain you don't know what to do. It's like your brain goes to rest mode and you just stand there hoping the right answer will come to you. And then your inner thoughts creep in (yeah...you know what I'm talking about).

1. Do I need to call an ambulance? It's really bad for business if an ambulance shows up at my front door...


2. Are they dying? Is this one of those red flag cases they talked about in school?


3. Why did they come to MY office and not the ER? 


4. I really hope my other patients don't hear them screaming...


5. I have no f*@ng clue what to do


6. Welp, better clear my schedule. This one is going to be awhile.


7. ...just breathe....this is really going to hurt.


8. Oh hey! I'm a really good Chiropractor and I know what to do! I've got this. 

Big take home lesson: don't panic and appreciate change. Communication is your best friend with these hard cases. Just trust your gut and you'll know what to do! 

Join Dr. David & Dr. Karen are they discuss that moment in practice where you need to trust your gut and not panic.
