Health - 20 August 2006

Chronic pain affects millions of Americans every year. Most of them do not know where to turn for help. I am the director of a clinic that specializes in the treatment of chronic pain. Our clinic consists of well trained medical doctors that follow evidence based guidelines for the treatments we offer. Each year we provide real results to thousands of patients. Yet for every patient we help, there are hundreds of patients in our area that have never heard of us. Most of our referals come from other doctors but recently we have decided to take our message directly to the public. We have rented billboard space for the past several months with no results. We have also tried newspaper and magazine adds without results. I think the decision to go to a doctor is very personal and most people want someone that they can trust. This means they need a referal by someone they trust. How can we break through the trust barrier to reach these people who we know we can help?

many times the inside of your ear itches? Why does it happen especially when you are conscious of your personal hygiene.

I hate to exercise because it takes up my time.
I am willing to take a risk in trying something new.

Why is it that I can lose weight fine, but when someone tells me "looks like you're losing weight" or "You are looking good lately" or something to that effect I will stop losing and start gaining.
