Meet the East

Besides owning an MD at the end of my name, I now probably have a long list of things I want to venture into, like owning a flowershop, speaking French, giving birth to identical twins or trying out every ice cream flavor in the world. Today though, thanks to Dr. Philip of CM, I wanted to try something a little different: learn the art of Chinese medicine. (well, not really different-different since it's in the same field but still different, hehe.) I view traditional Chinese medicine as one crappy system of silly, accidentally-accurate techniques, well, until I had my third History of Med class.

It dawned on me that I was being a sort of an atheist all this time. Of course, who wouldn't be confident with Western Medicine given that it has proofs for its conclusions, but hey, maybe a little faith on an alternative wouldn't hurt. :) For all I know, I might be a better doctor if I would be practicing the medical techniques from both sides of the world (woohoo :P) and, it could probably make a difference, especially to the unprivileged, if I could advice cheaper and more practical strategies of keeping one's self healthy. :) And, it'll be cool to learn to speak and read Chinese! :P

But hell noooo, =/ NOT.. GIVING.. UP.. ice-cold water and ice cream. :)
