When the concept of universities first emerged in the Middle Ages, the little schools hopped from village to village looking for the cheapest rent. They had zero interest in whatever hamlet they inhabited at the moment. Oddly, as the schools built their own facilities, putting down roots in one place, the divide between scholars and local residents grew even wider. The learned folks carefully separated themselves from the riffraff just outside their hallowed halls.

Most chiropractors love interacting with chiropractic students. It's rewarding to get behind their dreams and push them to the next level - and to draft off their energy and enthusiasm for the profession and plans to change the world. I'm fortunate in that I get paid to interact with the next generation of chiropractors every day. But here's an ugly secret: sometimes they are the most frustrating, demanding, difficult people in the room. Not unlike patients, they give us our highs and, sometimes, the lows of lack of compliance, self-centeredness and unreasonable demands.
