At the annual meeting of the council of the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) in Budapest, Hungary, a new executive committee was elected for a two-year term. Newly elected members of the executive are:
The final member of the executive is Dr. Efstathios Papadopoulos of Cyprus, now past president, who represents the Chiropractors' Association of Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean Region.
"It is truly an honor and privileged to have been elected President", said Dr. Flynn, "especially given the outstanding presidents who have served before me, most recently my friend and colleague Dr. Stathis Papadopoulos, whose contribution has been immense."
Dr. Flynn is a second-generation DC born in Davenport, Iowa. His father John, a Palmer graduate, practiced for 20 years without a license in Louisiana and was president of the state association in 1974, when the state became the last to license and regulate the profession in the Unites States.
The new WFC president graduated with honors from Texas Chiropractic College in 1975. During the course of his career he has served as president of the Chiropractic Association of Louisiana and the Louisiana State Board of Examiners. He was the ACA delegate from Louisiana for six years and served six years on the ACA Board of Governors, two as chairman. He was the first chairman of the National Chiropractic Legal Action Fund and is also a past president of his local chamber of commerce. He is a past recipient of Chiropractor of the Year in Louisiana and the ACA.
Dr. Flynn currently serves on the board of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress and as chairman of the Student American Chiropractic Association Committee. He also serves as a member of the board of trustees at Parker Chiropractic College.
Dr. Flynn attended his first WFC Congress as one of three ACA representatives on the WFC Council in Paris-2001. In 2004 he was elected to the WFC Executive Committee as Treasurer, and he has served on the executive committee since that time, most recently as 1st vice president.

Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century. By “psychedelics,” we are referring to the unique class of substances that includes psilocybin (the active compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms”), LSD, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and mescaline – each of which occurs in the natural world (except for LSD, which is a semi-synthetic compound).
While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
