This text really exposes you to a variety of difficult cases from China. It shows you the true power of acupuncture as a form a medicine with its ability to heal patients that are often in critical condition. Not only does it give you the point selections that were used to treat the patients, it also gives you the reasoning behind the selection and sometimes the needling techniques that were used. I highly recommend it because for me, it filled in a lot of missing pieces of the clinical puzzle, especially in the area of why certain points are chosen and how they should be needled in order to get the desired effect.

This brilliant text provides a "fly-on-the-wall" view of what it must be like to work in a TCM clinic overseas. From the History through diagnosis and treatment options it presents an accurate and concise account of patient care and the Shen of healing. This is a professional text, written in clear clinical shorthand and a must for your library.

Buy this book, if for no other reason that the treatment protocol for "Flu Like Symptoms" (#5). You will use that methodology to help people from now on.

The Churchill Livingstone edition is bound more stoutly than most Chinese texts, but will require loving preservation - because it WILL be used - if it is to last you a lifetime!
