I'm a traditional medicine doctor myself. I have a little of Chinese ancestry but second generation in the Americas. I don't speak Chinese neither has been exposed to their culture. My mother is half Chinese and she had good experience with acupuncture when traditional occidental treatment has failed: both for a knee pain and post anesthesia Ileus after her hysterectomy. So when my boyfriend was diagnosed with diverticulitis after acute abdominal pain and I found him clinging from cabinets to bear the pain I decided to look for the best in town and I found it. I was impress with the personal and tender approach of the medical exam, nothing like the traditional deep palpation that disregard the patients comfort, since we believe that causing pain will somehow help us find the origin of the damage. While he set a hand on the patient shoulder was attentively listening to an overwhelmed patient that wasn't making much sense to me ( as an occidental physician, we want a calendar of events). All this while he was rubbing superficially the abdomen in an standing position because the patient could not bare any other position. Dr Wu pinpoint the pain before being told where it was.\r
And yes he walked out pain free. Dr Wu was able to identify two different pains, the gut one and the muscular from a back strain he had suffered before. Treated both and all was resolved in 6 weeks. The previous review about tongue etc, shows someone that was not open mind enough to understand the different of the approach of probably have been to impostors only before.
