Re-Sloan Kettering-They hired a couple of people, but had to let a few

go, as patient demand was not as high as anticipated. SMK paid $20/hr

and MD Anderson paid $40k a year, and also wanted bilingual, if

possible. Perhaps MD Anderson is paying that irregardless of their

patient load. The staff seems totally not together-I think their

acupuncture clinic started with a grant from a concerned benefactor,

and suspect the grant money has dried up, but they keep it up for

show. I tried to contact them several time over a period of three

weeks and it was a fiasco all around.

Cancer patients as a whole don't seem to be interested in getting

acupuncture, despite what we might believe, even when the MD is for it

and suggests it to his patient. There is an oncology group in my town

that does have a contract acupuncturist and the billing staff will try

to get reimbursemtn for the patient, but the acupuncturist is only

seeing 3-5 patients a week there.

I'll be interested to hear how the St Vincent gig goes. I'll be in NYC

in April and would love to hear positive sucess stories to make up for

MD Anderson and Dana-Farber.

 

Best regards,
