Helping Interns become Healthcare Professionals: Samantha

Internships for high school students give them the real-world experience working in a business.  This may help them decide a future career.  In healthcare, students look to seek internships in a hospital or a private healthcare office.

At Euclid Chiropractic has hosted interns for over 5 years.  Here students are given the freedom to work in the back and front office, shadow the doctors during patient care, and develop x-rays.  Samantha tells her experience of these duties.  Also, the most important trait she learned during her internship…listen to it when Samantha tells her story.

And here is Natalie’s internship story too.

If you are looking to get your feet wet by experiencing interning in a fast-paced healthcare office, contact Dr. Ratkovic through our office or email.  Presently as a student at Upland HS or Baldy View ROP, you can also get classroom credit.  Either way we are happy to help students observe and help improve people’s lives.

Knowing your Local Chiropractor

In the past, most people have sought help for bone, joint, muscle and nerve conditions through their medical doctors.  People now have to pay for some or all of their own healthcare, so they are choosing Chiropractors because of the profession’s improvement of health through their non-surgical, non-medication approach.

In this video, Dr. Ratkovic answers the top 5 questions people want to know BEFORE seeing a local Chiropractor.  The answers give the doctor’s knowledge and philosophy of treating health conditions. We hope you use these questions to gain confidence in choosing your Chiropractor wisely.

Here are the 5 questions answered, and highlights from Dr. Ratkovic’s response:

1)  Why should they see a chiropractor if they have chronic back, neck, and headaches?

Starting at 25 seconds.  “In our office we first do an x-ray analysis, looking for the cause of your condition.  Prescribing medication is not part of our treatment.” 

2) What will happen if they ignore this pain and just keep taking pain pills?

Starting at 1:26.   “The condition can worsen, to require more aggressive/risky care beyond Chiropractic treatment.  For example, shots or surgery.”

3) In your experience why don’t people go to a chiropractor right away?

Starting at 2:09.  “Most people have been comfortable seeing a medical doctor since they can remember.  They will see a Chiropractor when there is no relief from the medications, or want to avoid drugs for their condition.”

4) What are some things people don’t know that a chiropractor can help them with ?

 Starting at 3:00.  “We treat the nervous system that helps the body tolerate our daily stressors without have negative health conditions.”

5) What motivates gets a person to make an appointment at a chiropractic office?

Starting at 3:54.   “Number one reason is to get off the pain medication.  Number two: a personal referral.  Most of our new patients every month are from word of mouth.”
