(more) I tend to treat patients as family members. Listen to their presenting complaints and include their emotional concerns. Example: I had a 6 year old female patient who visited 7 different doctors including gastrointestinal specialists regarding stomach issues. After speaking with her as if she were my granddaughter, I discovered she didn’t like going to school so she fabricated a stomach condition and eventually believed it herself. I treated her with very gentle acupuncture techniques and shared fun stories of my younger days in elementary school. Before you know it, she was back to normal and wanted to know when she could come back to see me. She told me that I reminded her of her grandfather because I had white and black hair. LOL.
