The Acupuncture Doc

Patient: "I really wish my spouse/parent/friend would come to see you, I know this would help them so much."
Me: "Buy them a gift card and then guilt them into it..."
EVERY. TIME.

Nope, I'm not ashamed even a little bit🎄🎁

Nice! My current favorite is probably Liv 5 ashi x 3 or 4 spots for LBP. People tend to think I'm a wizard after we do that treatment 😆.
I'm a hobby baker, but nothing fancy. I'm currently prepping to make tiramisu brownies. Wish me luck!

Those are great things to be good at! Do you have a favorite acupuncture point to do? How about a favorite baking recipe?

What are you good at? We focus too much on what we can't do, I want to hear the opposite. Tell me a skill you have that you are proud of, I don't care how big or small. Can you draw a straight line, effortlessly pick the perfect size leftover container, multiply and divide in your head? Tell me.

PSA for those with ADHD (written by a dragonfly with ADHD): you don't have to do things at the exact instant that you think of doing them. It's ok to make a list and do something later. *I really should follow my own advice 🙃

I grew up in foster care, and if I hadn't had access to Medicaid and food stamps, there is no way that I would be a doctor today. Millions of children will be robbed of their futures if this bill passes. Please call your representative today at 202-224-3121 and ask them to vote no. Please.

Watching patients put their shoes back on after treatment has sparked a debate: are you a sock, sock, shoe, shoe person or a sock, shoe, sock, shoe person?

This week has been the longest month ever.

If you no-show for your appointment, we are going to charge you a fee. We aren't mean and greedy, you are rude and disrespectful.

🌈🍀Wishing everyone some extra SHEN-anigans today🍀🌈

It has been scientifically proven that your bed is the most comfortable at 2PM on Sunday afternoon.

Was just refilling bottles of Sheng Xie Gu Shui and it splashed up onto my face and now I feel like I've been using some kind of supercharged ghost pepper face cream. Follow me for more skincare tips...😬

@thisone0verhere.bsky.social we completely agree with this, too. Clearly, we have Asian food on the brain today. Dumplings for everyone!!

@meliheli.bsky.social we completely agree.

Anyone else put all their time and energy into educating a patient on minimal lifestyle modifications they could make that would help them feel 95% better, only to have them look at you and say, "Nah, I'm not going to do any of that. I need you to just fix it"? *bangs head against wall repeatedly*

I don’t care what your friend said, or what you saw in that movie. I cannot fix the back pain you’ve had for 10 years in one session. Geez, people. 🤬
