PULSE READING – some more

A first reader to follow my advice. Medical advice, that is. Good on ye, girl. When mainstream medical-men cannot do more than prescribe an aspirin, but you yourself know and feel that there is more to it, and moreover anxiously suspect that it might even be serious, it is time to look for an alternative second opinion. And you did. Good on ye.
So this is what happened.
After creating a lot of question marks in the mind of the registration nurse—you are taking birth control pills but you haven't had your period for over two months. ???. Yes, I'm on a three-month cycle—you can tell the doctor (what acronyms does he carry behind his name, as he is a GP, an acupuncturist, a herbalist, and bases his diagnosis on pulse reading) what's bothering you.
He comments that not being able to play tennis without wanting to throw up if you have eaten less than four hours before playing, is rather strange. Normally one hour should be sufficient to prevent that. And from his pulse readings he concludes that both your breathing problem and the nausea are stomach related.
Note the fact he does not use a stethoscope, there is none around his neck either.
Two needles are inserted, one just below the breastbone and the other one in the lower leg… Lower leg… for stomach related problems? Grand! Alternative, outside of the box methods, is what keeps the world turning. And to complement the process, herbs are added. Seven packs. One a day. And come back next week to check on progress.
All other readers in Jakarta and surroundings. Remember the clinic: O CliniC, Jl. Prapanca Raya PIII No. 20, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta.
