I Should Have Been Left-Handed

Fun read for the chiropractor or radiologist

I enjoyed reading about the life of Terry Yochum. Biographies about (and by) chiropractors are hardly the stuff of NY Times' Bestsellers list (they could almost always do with a professional editor and reworking of the narrative structure); but they are still a treasure for the profession and those interested in the lives of those who have cleared the road to allow for chiropractic to be respected among other healthcare professionals. A delicate balance has to be made between honoring the history of the profession and allowing it to grow and embrace evidence. Dr. Yochum was one of the pioneers in paving that path with the publication of the landmark textbook, Essentials of Skeletal Radiology. To read about his long nights and time away from family during which he hand wrote this tome is both inspiring and dumbfounding.
A bit too much baseball for my personal liking, but that passion is what fueled the man who brought validation to the field of chiropractic radiology.
A worthwhile read for any modern chiropractic historian.
