Communication failure

I was reading a report today about how the miscommunication or lack of communication has perpetuated and even initiated disastrous consequences. From 9/11 to Katrina to Chernobyl; all have an element of sub-par communication. Even looking at large organizations, their success or lack thereof is dependent on how well the company's vision translates through from executives to the mail room.

From a health care prospective, I wonder if we truly look at our body's communication system when we diagnose or treat health problems? When our child has a chronic infection, do we question why the body could not respond? Does the body not know how to treat this infection or is it possible that the body is simply not aware that a certain area is infected?

Last time I went to my traditional doctor, I wanted to let him know that Chiropractic is keenly aware of the role that our body's communication system (nerves, spinal cord and brain) and acutely looks for interferences within that system. He thought that I only dealt with back pain! When he asked me how, it was simple to explain that we check for spinal joints that interfere with messages in the adjoining nerves. I even went on to describe the computerized nerve analysis that checks each level of your spine. We were both surprised that the concept of Chiropractic was not communicated well in the medical system.

I guess that is a miscommunication or subluxation on our part!
