Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I am looking for an acupuncturist in Eugene whom I can refer a client. The client needs to be seen within the next week or so; she is self-pay. Thanks for any suggestions.

And although its very nice not to be concerned and thereby take a casual attitude..... the hand-writing IS on the wall for all to see - if they choose to see it. What can be done about it? States like Hawaii and Montana force MDs, DOs etc to take the same 4 year course as do acupuncturists BEFORE they can pick and use an acupuncture needle. And then there are states like Florida where they need absolutely zero training to practice acupuncture and DCs only need 100 hrs plus the passing of a simple test. Some of us continue to work to change that in Florida. Richard In a message dated 8/21/2009 12:18:39 A.M.

Interesting if participants keep applying the new skills in their practice and do they really get good results... I am not talking about few gifted practitioners or using techniques like acupuncture point injections..I I see more and more young MD and DO with acupuncture training... Interesting, how long our profession will last. Tatiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
