1975 | A Perfect Storm
– A spinal fusion in the lower back –
– A dental splint on the upper teeth –
Elements of
A PERFECT PATIENT STORM
in the world of
the cranial Osteopath.
This journey into an unconventional realm of medicine,
without a map or a compass,
into the world of Unknown Diagnosis,
disclosed a territory named
IATROGENESIS*.
*Iatrogenesis
harm brought forth by unintended adverse patient outcome because of a health care intervention.
Prelude No. 11
Robert Vandall
How and Why?
Unrecognized forewarnings of silent waves emerged in 1971.
– unaware, uninformed, unfamiliar, unknown, undiscovered, unidentified –
Nameless and Silent
I was 24 years old.
A tsunami appeared in 1975 and again in 1976,
leaving destruction and wreckage spanning five years.
The entrance to “The Road Less Traveled” revealed itself in February, 1981.
A summit appeared on this Road in 1986 with the publication of
The Cranial Connection.
Twenty-five years later, in 1996 and 1998,
unanticipated Tidal Waves inundated my journey on this Road.
During these years, however, a rescue team was in place.
And the journey was neither as frightening nor as lonely.
Another twenty-five years later, the NOW of 2024…
Accompany me on a remarkable pathway
that leads into the Unknown.
Uncover extraordinary possibilities and potentialities
in the Beyond.
This “Road Less Traveled” has changed my life.
