http://thepindoctor.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Random musings of a PR-man turned acupuncturist on health, life and stuff. Tuesday, 10 August 2010. Horses, not zebras. One of my favourite medical sayings is 'If you hear hoof beats, look for horses, not zebras', first coined by the renowned American surgeon Dr. Ben Eiseman in the 1960s. It's an aphorism that was frequently drummed into me when I was training in acupuncture. In the past, the only people who usually had to have their diagnostic enthusiasm restrained were medical students. However, in...

Random musings of a PR-man turned acupuncturist on health, life and stuff. Tuesday, 19 February 2013. A little haiku for you. A few days back, I entered this little fella in a poetry competition run by some friends I do roleplay gaming with. It didn't win, but I like it anyway, so I'm sharing it with you. Doing the right thing. A fragile thread guides my path through fog. Carefully, I tread,. The picture isn't mine). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Pudsey, Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom.

Random musings of a PR-man turned acupuncturist on health, life and stuff. Friday, 15 November 2013. Traditional Mongolian Medicine: A study of patients, practitioners and practice.

The Pindoctor: Lies, Damned Lies and Headlines (or why acupuncture is so safe)
http://thepindoctor.blogspot.com/2010/10/lies-damned-lies-and-headlines-or-why.html
Random musings of a PR-man turned acupuncturist on health, life and stuff. Friday, 29 October 2010. Lies, Damned Lies and Headlines (or why acupuncture is so safe).

On Tuesday, the coldest day of the winter so far, my central heating and hot water packed up. Faced with daytime temperatures not creeping above zero Celsius dropping at night time as low as minus three I was braced for an extremely uncomfortable few days until I could get a repair sorted. The fact that I didn’t freeze is down to a few factors. Is that they are mo...
