The Dog Days are Over April 16th

I walk in to the building and I see several people waiting to be seen by Dr. Cheng. There were a couple who weren't comfortable with me watching. But I still got see Dr. Cheng in action. Some patients come in with chronic pain, injuries from car accidents. Dr. Cheng gave me some good advice when busting the office, always listen, it's okay to listen in on people conversation. The stories you here are incredible! You get civil engineers, airport workers, accountants, all kinds of people. There was a good story about fixing airplanes (it caught my attention because I want to be an aerospace engineer!). I asked a woman who works in the office how long she has been working for Dr. Cheng. She said for about 6 years or so, however she has been working for chiropractic services for over 17 years. She said she does it because she loves helping people. It was really heartfelt. I mean they are helpin people's lives one appointment at a time. On Friday I'm going to ask Dr. Cheng if it would be okay to film him working on me! Let's hope it goes well.

The Dog Days, April 14th 

Spent time with Dr. Chang discussing previous patients, can you believe he worked on Keanu Reeves! Trust me it's legit, he showed me his file. Pretty cool right? Well I was in shock to hear that, Dr. Cheng working with famous people. I think my mentor is officially awesome! Well anyway Cheng has worked with civil cases, one that really caught my attention was a murder case. It's a really intense and traumatic thing. So apparently according to Cheng, the defendant wasn't able to life a one pound weight off the table however she was being prosecuted for the murder of her son. She was found guilty, my question to that is how? Cheng and I believe that she was wrongly convicted. How is it possible for a person so weak could murder her son. It was incredibly heartbreaking to read (I checked with Dr. Cheng, he said it's okay to tell the story). Man, the stories you hear are incredible. I still need to be worked on, I know I've been lagging in that aspect I'm sorry if you're waiting for my reaction to it. Trust me, it's coming and honestly I'm scared, but I'm ready.

Slow Days April 12th 

It was a relatively slow day, not many people come in. I guess I have bad luck with appointment days. I've gotten really close to his son. He is a cool kid. I really enjoy the massage chair it's pretty cool. Since I'm under 18 I need a parents permission to get worked on. I'm sort of scared to get my back and my neck cracked. It's safe but it's always a little scary you know? Plus it gives me the creeps hearing joints and bones cracking. So my goal is to get my parents permission. I'm nervous but I believe I'm ready.

Getting in the Groove April 7th, 2014

I'm starting to feel more comfortable in the environment. I'm more open to asking questions and talking to Dr. Cheng. I've been watching him work on patients and he's given me some important tips on figuring out an injury. I'm getting a little nervous because I'm seeing people getting their upper back, neck, and lower back, pretty soon he is going to work on me just to go through the experience. Hopefully it goes well. Lately business has been slow which in my opinion is a big downer because I don't see as many patients as I would like. Well next meeting if it's not busy he will work on me. Let's hope it's busy for my sake.
