Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Pete, " Too well " ? Is there such a thing? If the patient is better, then the referrals alone are worth gold! I have been studying Master Tong's Acupuncture for a while now, and it is exactly the opposite. In fact Robert Chu told this story about a master carpenter who comes into a house that has had several poor attempts at correction from carpenters in the past, after careful assessment he pulls one nail, goes to the corner of the room and nails it in thus totally correcting the problem. The fellow who owns the house says, " hey i'm not paying you the $100 fee, you only used one nail! " to which the master carpenter says " you are not paying for one nail, but for forty years of know how that eliminates the need for poor workmanship. " Yet on the other side, i've recently had a patient who mentioned that he saw a " Daoist " practitioner in San Francisco who used over 100 needles and then used a blow dryer (i'm assuming as a replacement for moxa). He said he was walking on clouds for the next several hours. So many roads... Regards, Tym I have performed such treatments a number of times. They work *too* well. The patient gets " better " immediately and doesn't show up for his/her next appointment :-) -- Regards, Pete “Be realistic; expect a miracle.

My most faithful patient was in yesterday. She had hurt herself exercising too aggressively and was quite uncomfortable. I added an extra 30 needles to her treatment beyond what I would have, just sticking them in any old where " collateral points " and she absolutely floated out of the clinic a few minutes after her treatment was over. When I first removed the needles she was too buzzed to get up. -- Regards, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I was working in someone else's clinic so I wouldn't know. -- Regards, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
