• So the pics begin…

  Okay so I finally am getting around to posting a few pics, although not in any particular order because then I would never get anything done. However, here are some of my more memorable experience in China…

  If you were following through the backlogs (catch up, Kelly! ) then you know that the original and stated purpose of my china trip was to study acupuncture. Now I already wrote about some of my experiences in the clinic (Physician, Stab Thyself and Let’s Get Clinical!) but I figured I woud actualy provide you all with some actual pics of what it was like

  Let’s begin with some of the lectures, shall we? After all, I can’t show pics of my treating patients until you know that i actually learned the rudiments of how to…I will try and keep this pic posts short and sweet so as not to overload those of you with modem connections
  
  Here are the original needles that used to be used when acupuncture first started…now, not so much
  

  After learning basic theory, we began by practicing correct technique on gauze pillows…it invoves a straightening of your fingers, and flexing of your wrist, with very little arm motion at all

  Then a number of lectures about where different meridians and needle placement points were…
  

  

  Finally, it was time for us to start practicing on each other…
