Mint Hill NC Chiropractor Explains Struggles of A College Roommate in Chiropractic School

Now back to Joe’s story. Joe was struggling to make C’s and my other roommate and I tried to help as much as possible. Then, Joe’s fiancé moved down to the area to become a physical therapist.

At that time, the physical therapists had about half of the classroom hours we were required to take in terms of anatomy courses. I also learned that physical therapists and medical doctors shared the same anatomy classes and requirements. They only had two anatomy lab classes (human dissection of cadavers) per week, compared to our three classes. We had 1/3 more hours studying actual human anatomy than the medical students and physical therapists did!

So one day Joe decided to go meet his fiancée down at the University of Chicago medical school, where her anatomy lab classes were held, and help her study.

What? Joe helps someone study anatomy, with his grades? My other roommate and I stared at each other in disbelief.

When Joe returned that night with his fiancée, he was a changed man. She confirmed the experiences that he shared with us.

Joe started with his fiancé at the first cadaver table, teaching her the tagged structures she had to commit to memory for her upcoming exam. Joe commented that it was easy, compared to the depth and the fine detail he was required to learn at the national college of a chiropractic anatomy lab.

After several hours and several different cadaver stations, Joe found himself surrounded by three medical students and two other physical therapy students, teaching them as well.

“Wow, where did you learn your anatomy?” asked one of the medical students.

“I’m a student at the national college of Chiropractic,” Joe replied he had a newfound confidence in himself, and he opened the eyes of some aspiring medical doctors and physical therapists that very day!
