DOCTORS IN TEXAS - DR. JOHN RAYMOND BAKER, BS,DC-
A CHIROPRACTIC DOCTOR

There are many doctors in Texas. There are many doctors in Northeast Texas, Southeast Texas, West Texas, East Texas, Central Texas, South central, north central, and on and on. Every doctor is not for every patient and every patient is not for every doctor. There are doctors who are "General practitioners" (GPs) and those often were the doctors who were called "family doctors". But, in the latter part of the twentieth century, it became clear that "specialists" , sometimes called those practicing a "subspecialty" made much much more money than the general practitioners, although, many people genuinely love their general practitioner / family doctor. There is an old saying that if you reward something, you get more of it, and since the specialists were making much much more money, you starting having more and more doctors becoming "specialists" and less and less becoming the "family doctor".

As a result of this, more and more Medical Doctors (MDs) went into fields such as neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery (orthopaedic is the correct spelling, although many USE orthopedic). See the following:
" Origin

Nicolas Andre was the first to propose the term Orthopaedia in a self-help book he wrote for parents - Orthopaedia: Or, The art of Correcting and Preventing Deformities in Children. He derived the name from the two greek words, Ortho implying straight and free from deformity and Paedia referring to children.^[2] At that point of time deformities in children due to poliomyelietis and tuberculosis was rampant and physicians were few or too expensive to afford. Today orthopaedics, as it is commonly referred to, deals with patients from all age groups. Contrary to common belief, the proper spelling is orthopaedic and not orthopedic.^[3] However the earliest evidence of care for the injured and deformed can be traced back five thousand years to the Egyptian civilisation.^[4]. Over the years physicians and surgeons, both, combined their resources in taking care of the crippled. The discovery of anaesthesia by Horace Wells^[5][6] , recognition of the importance of asepsis by Joseph Lister^[7], bone grafting by MacEwen^[7][8], and Internal fixation by Arbuthnot Lane^[8], combined with the development of the "magic rays" by William Conrad Röntgen^[8] completed the triad of developments that propelled orthopaedics at the turn of the 19th century to establish into a speciality^[7][9]."

Although, at http://www.orthodocsreno.com/, that person says BOTH are currect, saying that "The English spelling (ae) is derived from Greek while the common spelling is Germanic.", he is wrong. See this:
http://www.pediatric-orthopedics.com/The_Practice/The_Gang/Links/Pediatric_Orthopaedics/pediatric_orthopaedics.html

" Ho boy. The founder of our field named it Orthopædics.

The idea was to use Greek. Greek ortho means straight. Greek pæd means child. So, a field of medicine to make children straight. Cool."

Ibid "...pæd is child in Greek, but Latin doesn't use that spelling. Latin uses ped to mean child. Greek ped means foot. Do we limit ourselves to feet? Nope. Hey. AE is not the same as Æ either! AE is, well, an A and an E. But Æ is a diphthong!

Where do those come from? Most diphthongs are holdovers from other languages. When you see any English word with the F sound written as PH - you KNOW that the word was borrowed indirectly from Greek BY WAY OF LATIN. It is, in this form, Latin. Just as many English words were once something else, they are still, as spoken from our lips, English. A word with PH was LATIN when it was borrowed. Not Greek. Why? Latin had no original sound or letter for phi so it made do, using PH, to signify phi.

Same with TH. That, too, is LATIN - borrowed from Greek theta.

Alas, the poor diphthong Æ was dropped from English FORMALLY and by general agreement. In 1775, Samuel Johnson drove a stake through its heart. He said in his dictionary about it :

... not properly to have any place in the English; since the æ of the Saxons has been long out of use... and the æ of the Romans is in the same way altered [to e -- not ae].

Noah Webster did not revive it. So American English has no history of sustaining the Æ.

Furthermore, the single name Pediatric Orthopedics is just that, a single name . Thus, consistency extends to the first term. We ought not have a first term in Latin form followed by a Greek root.

Aha, but 'ORTHO' IS GREEK , you say!

Mmmmmm. Maybe. But along with Greek gods, great literature, and even greater statuary, the Romans adopted many Greek words, adding them to Latin, including ORTHO. It's both. The 'th' is the give away.

And the 'A E'? It is a typographic fudge as far as I can tell. As with a 2 in poker, depends on house rules.

It isn't just that Æ is not better. Look at the company it keeps. Latin words with æ are:

pædico - practitioner of unnatural acts
pædor - filth
pælicatus - concubinage

and as a general rule, stuff with less than savory implications.

The kicker and the ultimate argument against Æ is strong. Spelling alternatives for similar LOOKING words determine pronunciation. The æ dipthong is pronounced "EYE" as in FIND. Do the spellers of that choice say ortho-py-dics? No. They say eee, which is not only an 'e', but an Anglicized 'e' at that.

The rule of language evolution has been to simplify words in general usage. I would like to think that our field, having had its name kidnapped once, would assert itself to simpler form for its own sake.

Following the KISS principle [keep it simple, sapiens] I choose 'e' and worry about scholastics who don't get their facts correct as they vent disdain over orthopedics.

 We, the criticized, who prefer an argument of simplicity (guided by William of Ockham) hope that they can abandon outdated surgical habits with greater ease than they do nasty old spellings.

So there! Pflssssssssssst."
----------SNIP---------------

So, now that we have beaten THAT dead horse, the point is that as the GP position was abandoned by more and more MDs in search of more money, the DOs (osteopathic doctors) move in and started filling the gap left by the MDs (as we know, nature hates a vacuum).

But, then, we have the Chiropractic doctors. Since 1895 chiropractic doctors have taken care of a wide range of health problems, and even assuming the kindly old family doctor position once enjoyed by Marcus Welby MD. Now, much as the role that Chiropractic doctors play in the Workers Compensation system as "treating doctors", the DC may act both as a treating doctor and case manager, doing the triage on a patient , identifying risk areas, and diagnosing the more problematic areas that need referral to one of the burgeoning group of highly paid, "specialists".

So, in Texas, there are many MDs, DOs, and DCs. In the Northeast region, in the Tyler, Longview, Mineola, Gilmer , Gladewater, etc., there is a caring doctor, a doctor who strives to put patients first, namely, Dr. John Raymond Baker, BS,DC. Dr. Baker is located at 1420 McCann Road in Longview Texas, in the Brookwood shopping village. His office is BAKER CHIROPRACTIC, PA.
