" Another question is, are there really adverse effects? One practitioner used

this example: if a

pneumothorax occurs during an acupuncture treatment for chronic bronchitis, but

the

patient's ensuing hospital experience prompts him to stop smoking, then is it an

adverse

effect? In the immediate sense of things, yes; but in the larger sense of

things, no. Because

the outcome was ultimately good. Therefore, from a transformational perspective,

one

cannot make the judgment that something is good or bad since, what appears to be

bad

today may turn out to be good later. "

 

interesting, yet idiotic conclusion.
