Even if I was next door not to mention an hours drive away, which is the distance to the aforementioned Korean practitioners clinic, I would ere on the side of caution in making any bold statements about my ability to bring about a satisfactory resolution to the serious medical dilemma described in yesterdays post.
Having seen the consequences of failing to take adequate medical action in this type of situation a decade or so ago, I would unhesitatingly refer the patient for a second opinion from a medical specialist.
I would definitely administer treatment to help stabilize the patient’s energy but I would be extremely reluctant to forecast a positive clinical outcome as a result of traditional acupuncture treatment.
I will keep you posted on the patient’s progress.
This scenario is going down now in Arizona and it is altogether possible that this lady is undergoing surgery as I write this post. Hope you are having a good 1. Alan
