Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I can recommend a good hospital in Beijing if you want. You'll probably live on campus with other students and if you need a translator no probs. If you need a translator carefully, make sure they know TCM. I heard of some friends who translator didn't know anything about TCM and was asking the Chinese doctor what 'Empty Heat' was. The Chinese doctor looked at my friends funny thinking they were asking the question, but of course they knew what it was. Find a person doing their Masters in TCM who speaks English. Even then you'll only get about 85% of everything that's going on. Don't expect much needle practice, at least not to start with. The Chinese patients are hot in westerners puncturing them. It's all no tubes and points are discussed in Pinyin, I.e. Zusanli and not ST36. Never be late, never take breaks, never leave early and when they offer you a chance, jump at it always. Forget western manners in China, just push in and get it!! Usually you'll start at 8am and all the work is done in the morning. Then afternoon is for paper work, admin and lecturers. I wouldn't bother with lectures, they are a waste of time. For example, a doctor gives an hour lecture, he spends 25 minutes telling you how good he is, then 10 minutes what you want to hear, then 25 minutes telling you how good he is. China is alot like that. Warm regards, Attilio D'Alberto Doctor of (Beijing, China) B.Sc. (Hons) T.C.M. M.A.T.C.M.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 *Attilio,* *Thanks for the mail, there's alot of info and very good advice, thank you, I would really appreciate any help in relation to finding a good hospital to intern in. I have a small practice running for the last 6 months but I feel I am not proving the service to my clients that they need and deserve This is a problem I have as with me, I know the theory and I learnt all points in PinYin so that should not be a problem. * *I am open to any advice you have, I am willing to spend 1 week, 1 month, 1 year or however long is required, where ever it is required to get that confidence.* *Gordon.* On 1/25/06, Attilio D'Alberto <attiliodalberto wrote: > > I can recommend a good hospital in Beijing if you want.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi Gordon. Where is your practice located if I might ask? Jaimye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Actually, I'm in the distance learning program and have never visited the campus personally. My best guess would be to ask Mr. Ming about the points Attilio brought up in his post: Translator, boarding, etc. if you like to go there. They have a program through them where you get the textbooks, study them all and come in to china to take the tests. How long have you been in practice?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hi Jaimye, I am located in Cork, Ireland.I qualified last Feb after 3 years of study, I sometimes feel I am only qualified to purchase needles. I have a friend who has been practicing for 15 years, amazing guy who really has boosted my confidence. And he spends alot of time with me. I work a standard week as a recruiter, and then run the practice after 6pm rwice a week. Its not the best solution curently. I know alot of people say its best to go out there full time and not part time, but I have done that already and there that 80-90% failure rate in business, I not interested in becoming a stat again. Doing it this way, renting a full TCM clinic per hour works for me so far. All I really want is for the clinic to pay for itself and start getting results. TCM in Ireland is really starting to flower, and I want to be part of this process. As soon as I feel my day work is effecting my TCM I will then make the transition. I appreciate that all this takes time, I'm not looking for a quick fix, but I do want to have the best knowledge and info that I can to help my clients. I'm looking at going to Randine Lewis's workshops in Canada next month. Its an area I am extremely interested in. Gordon.
