This Joe Manion is always acting as if TENS is the “end all”. Joe, sounds like you are a TENS unit provider. Lol….Don’t be so obvious. Learn the business, lol.

I agree Terry. The notion that a Dr. should not be getting paid for fitting a TENS unit on their patient is absurb. What better way to bring in the additional income you deserve. Its Your office, Your patient, Your experience and Your time.

I think you are spot on. From what I can see in the Bible, God wants us to prosper and to make profits. Profits help us to help others, whether by expanding business and employing more people, and/or by giving us the opportunity to fund charitable organizations. God bless America, where a person can still make profits–at least for now.

Great article, the notion that you are unprofessional because you are making money is a nonsense. So long as you are ethical in your practice, why shouldn’t you benefit. You education wasn’t for free, your not employed to only perform public services. Its a great life if you can derive an income and provide a service like chiropractic, you can have a good life while helping others find health and wellness.

Interesting topic….especially in the United States right now with so many health care changes coming in the near future. This is definitely something we should all explore as a community. It’s a unique balance between caring for your patients and also benefitting from that care in terms of financial gain.
