A short interview/transcript excerpt of Jeff Langmaid describing his early experience joining a chiropractic organization and deciding to build a referral-based practice. He observed colleagues emphasizing imaging (MRIs/CT scans) and consulting studies, which influenced his approach to clinical decision-making and referrals.
When I first joined that group, it was like sink or swim. Like there wasn't really too much opportunity that they were going to push chiropractic and help me build a practice. But I was practicing in their organization, so that's what really generated the thought of, oh, I guess I better reach out to my colleagues and build a referral based practice, because it's kind of my only option. And that's really the seeds where I actually got into what are these guys doing and how are they making decisions? And I noticed that they were really focused on imaging, as surgeons would be reviewing MRIs and CT scans. They also work constantly to each other reparations, studies.
