Question
We all know that people "think," but what I really want to know is, do people think about the work they are doing? That is, a doctor treating his patient has a bent of mind toward the patient, a student taking an exam is thinking about the questions that appear on the question paper. I have not seen anybody thinking, so how do I know what the thinking process is all about? Please give an elaborate answer with examples on how people think in different scenarios. An obvious answer is that people think differently when they are in different situations, but what I want to know is if a person giving an IQ test thinks about the questions that appear on the test. Is that true? I have not seen anybody thinking, so I do not want to make presumptions about the "thought process." Am I a "normal thinker" or is there something that people experience while thinking that's different from what I experience? I am an advocate and normally working, but this question really haunts me. The rationale behind this question is that how can I proceed in life without the complete knowledge of the "brain working" and the "thought-process"?

Answer
Dear Girish,

Thank you for your question on human thought process.  While the subject may be mysterious and unanswered for you at this point in your life yet remains of interest to you, it is not something within the chiropractic professional objective.  

Thank you for sharing it, nonetheless, and perhaps I, too, can now enjoy pondering it, perhaps even giving it some - dare I say it - thought.

Girish, I wish you the best in seeking your answers.


Sincerely,
James W. Healey, DC
