Ahh, dr. zhang- man of few words, but he's pretty great. this is my first time trying acupuncture. If I turn up with a baby, well, he works, if not...well, it was interesting. He's a bit abrupt, but I think it's a cultural thing, not a 'tude thing. I will say, that when I went in the other day, I hadn't evens aid a word to him and he goes " stick out your tongue" which I did, and he said "You have a cold, how long you have cold" I said it had just come on that morning. He could tell by looking at my tongue and asked if I was congested. I said yes, and my throat is killing me too. He stuck some pins at the base of my nostrils, and another on just under my chin. My sinues cleared out instantly, and by the end of the session, my throat pain was gone and never returned.

Now that's pretty damn cool.

This is my first direct experience with acupuncture, but I am hoping that it is ultimately positive. Dr. Zhang smiles all the time, but he is brusque, and when I asked him what his diagnosis was, he initially told me that it was no use telling me, because I didn't know anything about traditional Chinese medicine. That was annoying, because a doctor is supposed to explain things to you and increase your knowledge. He did agree to tell me on my second visit, when I was able to inflect my question with a few key TCM terms. Our sessions are on the short side, slightly under half an hour each. Since I have no previous experience with acupuncture, and also because Dr. Zhang was recommended by my usual (Western-style) doctor, I am choosing to go with the flow and hope for the best. I wish he would improve his bedside manner, but I guess I'll just chalk it up to "atmosphere". If this all works out, I will add at least another star.
