Dooley Noted: The Blogs

Dooley Noted: 7/27/2016   Each day, I read patient intakes that note they wake up at night to urinate.    Many of them reduce their nighttime water intake, with the hypothesis it will prevent them from waking.   Unless they have been diagnosed with nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting), then the most likely case is that they don’t wake to urinate.   You have this incredible ability to inhibit nighttime urination once you are unconscious. This … Read more

Dooley Noted: 7/26/2016    I worked and lived alone off and on for many years.   As I partnered with my colleagues at Catalyst SPORT, I learned quickly that the sum is greater than the parts. Being part of a strong team shows that the members are mutually enhancing.    The same is true for our Immaculate Dissection seminar family, which is expanding week by week.    By myself, I can help some people.    … Read more

Dooley Noted: 7/24/2016   This image is making its way around the internet today.   The findings from the high impact factored, peer-reviewed journal, Spine, showed that over 86.7% of cervical disc herniations were asymptomatic.   Although the research clearly shows this truth, pain is often explained by radiographic findings by their doctors and therapists.   It’s time to stop this madness.   Disc herniations occur due to excessive motion at one segment without load-sharing … Read more

Dooley Noted: 7/23/2016 These past few days teaching in Taiwan have been like a beautiful dream.  After four days of intense anatomy lectures with assessments and correctives, we were taken to dinner every evening by Michael Cheng’s amazing team at the BOA group.  They filled the table with toasts, gifts and laughter. They even presented us with a beautiful plaque of appreciation.  Appreciation is infectious. Their gestures simply made me want to appreciate everything around … Read more

Dooley Noted: 7/22/2016 For the past three days, I’ve had the honor and privilege of co-teaching Immaculate Dissection anatomy concepts in Taiwan.  The students have this incredible quality that I rarely see.  They are patient with their understanding.  They let me speak about the lecture material, and they don’t consistently interrupt lecture.  They never go tangential with their questions.  They respect our team as their teachers, and they let us show them our concepts – … Read more

Dooley Noted: 7/20/2016   Yesterday, we premiered Immaculate Dissection (ID) I: Core Concepts in Taipei, Taiwan.   I was nervous that important points may be lost in translation.   I couldn’t have been more wrong!    The class members were engaged, attentive, and inquisitive. And they even got our senses of humor!   The teaching team worked with the students, who were mostly physical therapists and a few trainers and massage therapists. (Unfortunately, Taiwan does … Read more

Dooley Noted: 7/19/2016   People like to refer to me playfully as “crazy.”   I maintain a “crazy” schedule.    But to me, it’s crazy not to seize the opportunities to help as many people as I can.    I have a “crazy” lifestyle of traveling the world on weekends to teach.  But to me, it’s crazy to lounge too much around home when I can use my time to educate and travel.    I … Read more
