介绍:
Believe or not that acupuncture has been used in theemergency in U.S!!!
We often hear about acupuncture being used as an “alternative” when conventional biomedicine has failed to bring relief or resolution to a problem. So it seems a bit counter-intuitive to think about acupuncture being used as part of first line care in an emergency room.
And that is exactly where this episode’s guest practices— in the ER(急诊室） of a hospital.
