Technicians was Orange Tongue

[Guest guest]

I wanted to pose a question since the below remark got my attention. Maybe

it is our role to be technicians? Why would it not be the needles and the

patients who are healing, I am simply the person who decides where to put

them and inserts them. And ultimately don't you think just receiving

acupuncture on a continual basis is going to have a positive affect on

deeper issues? Have you (general you) ever purposely not treated something

but not seen it get better with acupuncture being done for something else?

Also do we really need to be therapists in addition to acupuncturists?

Especially if our diagnostic skills are good?

 

 

 

I'd be really interested in others thoughts on this, especially if given in

a positive non-demeaning response,

Remember, your big clue there is her presenting complaint: " knee overuse " .

Don't leave it at the mechanics only, you'll never become mroe than a

technician.

 

Some ideas that came into my head, hope you find them useful.
