Chiropractic J Aust 1994 Mar;24(1):9-14 Chiropractic Legislation in Hong Kong: The Doctor Title War CHUN-CHEUNG WOO The Chinese title Yee San or Yee and the English title Doctor are generic terms. It seems that the government, the Legislative Council and the general public are not aware that 17 Chinese generic terms (including five doctor titles, two academic degrees and ten treatment places) have been monopolised by the Hong Kong medical profession for over 35 years. The Hong Kong Medical Association has made repeated efforts over the years to harass, discredit and denigrate the chiropractic profession. A provision in 1989 threatened to bar chiropractors from diagnostic procedures. In 1992, the Chiropractic Registration Bill forced a change of their established Chinese name and doctor title to a new name and therapist title, denoting a secondary health care profession supplementary to medicine, and was a "set-up" to contain the chiropractic profession as manipulative therapists under the umbrella of the medical profession as "gatekeeper." Without consensus the controversial bilingual Chiropractors Registration Bill was gazetted and read; the arguments of the doctor title war are documented. The Chiropractors Registration Ordinance was finally gazetted on 12 February 1993 with minor amendments. Chiropractors are now legally entitled to use the doctor title in Chinese and English.

Chiropractic J Aust 1994 Mar;24(1):15-9 Chiropractic Practice in Hong Kong: Health Manpower Substitution and Patient Privileges. CHUN-CHEUNG WOO The evidence of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of chiropractic management of low-back pain is reviewed. To ensure high quality of health care and potential economic efficiency, a feasibility study of health manpower substitution for low-back pain is recommended. A pilot project employing chiropractic management of mechanical spinal disorders in a hospital-based clinical research setting should be encouraged and initiated. Chiropractic education in Hong Kong is needed. Patient privileges relevant to chiropractic practice after legislation are proposed. INDEX TERMS: (MeSH): CHIROPRACTIC; LEGISLATION; EDUCATION; SPINE; MANIPULATION; BACK ACHE; HEALTH CARE COSTS; WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION; INSURANCE; HOSPITALS. (Other): HEALTH MANPOWER SUBSTITUTION. Chiropractic J Aust 1994 Mar;24(1):20-2 Thyroid Carcinoma Detected in a Chronic Headache Sufferer: A Case Report WAYNE WITTINGHAM and TOM MOLYNEUX This case report illustrates the value of plain film radiography in day-to-day chiropractic practice. A patient who presented with chronic headache and cervical spine loint dysfunction was radiographed prior to chiropractic manipulation, and the films reviewed by both authors ( a chiropractor and a chiropractic radiologist) revealed tracheal indentation and deviation. Appropriate referral for further imaging and subsequent tissue biopsy led to a diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma. The patient's clinical history, plain film and CT images are presented. Eighteen-month follow-up indicated that surgery and radiation therapy have afforded the patient a favourable prognosis. Chiropractic manipulation was not given to this patient in light of the pathology. There has been no relief of the headache.

Chiropractic J Aust 1994 Mar;24(1):23-7 The Activator Story: Development of a New Concept in Chiropractic DENNIS M. RICHARDS Activator Methods chiropractic technique (AMCT) was developed by Warren Lee, DC and Arlan Fuhr, DC. In the evolution of AMCT, Lee and Fuhr drew on elements of several other techniques, including Logan Basic, Van Rumpt, Truscott and Derefield, and developed innovative equipment, such as the Activator adjusting instrument (AAI) and an adjusting table designed specifically forAMCT. Based on oral history inten/iews, this paper records the early lives of Lee and Fuhr, their entries into chiropractic, influences on their personalities, the development of their technique and the seminars which presented it to the chiropractic profession.
