Chinese Doctor II
To those who googled for 'chinese doctor' please read here how I ended up in hospital because of the herbal treatment, it took me three months to recover and I'm lucky to be alive; it caused a serious liver failure! Feel free to email me if you have any questions about this, the address is on the right.
I had my second appointment today and went to Bethnal Green this time. This part of London was kinda new to me but I had no problem getting there and I found the place without any hassle, it was about a ten minutes walk from the Tube station. The Chinese practice was situated along a busy road with a market. Next time I will leave a bit earlier and explore the market, I didn't have time because I was running a bit late.
The doctor had a quick chat with me, although I had problems understanding her. She doesn't speak English very well and she asked me a few questions that I really didn't understand but I think she got the gist of what I was saying. This time I had 24 needles stuck in me and I started to resemble a cactus. Some were painful, some were fine, some were odd... I had two in both my feet [top], three in both legs [knees], three in both arms, two in both hands, two in my neck [either side], two in my face [temple], two in my forehead and two on top of my head. After some time I couldn't move and felt paralysed. I fell asleep for half an hour...
I left at 14.00 with another bag full of Chinese herbs. I was so relaxed after this treatment I've decided that once the course is done I will have acupuncture each month just to keep the energy flowing...
I think I would be too fidgety to fall asleep but you do make it sound relaxing.
*hehe* staying up half the night is a great help to relax and fall asleep as well... and to be honest, I was paralysed so couldn't go anywhere really, I might as well just get a kip ;)
Acupuncture is great! I need to set up an appointment soon. Is it helping you out?
Hey Dalton,
yes, it's helping me a lot! Although last time was quite painful... I still need to write another post about it but have been busy updating this blog. Hope all's well?!
