Accidental Guru: Adjusting Staff After Hours, Creating a Colleague for Life

Back when I was in chiropractic college I worked at a Latin nightclub in Buckhead, Atlanta.

I started out as a Wednesday night bartender (slowest night.) One night, the owner looks at me and says: “you’re tall-you want to work security this weekend?”

So I became a “bouncer” at the club. I would dress nice + I had a ponytail and a big flashlight.

I used to bring my adjusting table and afterwards I’d work on the staff at the club.

There was this one kid, he was the busboy. He had just arrived from Venezuela and was studying English and was trying to get an IT degree. He’d watch me while I was adjusting.

I guess I must’ve made an impression, because years later, he became a chiropractor himself. (Now he blames me,lol)

Now we hang out as colleagues at chiropractic events.
