Consipitation

No,Its not a spelling mistake but a rather endearing way that my radical, highly regarded Chinese professor refers to constipation.I am well into my cinics at this stage in the game.
This entails running the acupuncture clinic as a group of students and seeing clients from the "outside". Its all very exciting.
For every client we see we have to take a detailed case study and then consult with our chinese professor. He is an interesting man.He has over 40 years experience in the field and as well as extensive research , a clinic he runs in Collins street (a highly priced business district),and a passion for stamp collecting,he finds the time to teach in Victoria University and with us.He cured himself of a stroke with acupuncture and still seems to chuff rather alot of cigarettes,but he knows his stuff.
When he inserts a needle the air in the room seems to stop.I find myself holding my breath and standing there waiting....not quite sure what im waitng for or even if I am ,perhaps I am just in awe. He can see and feel qi like its a solid entity and can tell when its shifted and when something is better.He can cure a muscle ache with one needle in 5 minutes.He has cured chronic shoulder problems with a needle in the leg manipulated for 10 minutes.Hes cured cancer.He pays no heed to our rather conservative ways of treating and will happily needle deeply into organs...something I still quite havent got my head round and makes me feel somewhat sick,but it works,he gets results,and isnt that what people want when they are sick??
Ive decided not to do an internship in china.Purely financial.If I had the cash I would but I dont and so I wont and thats okay,but when I have Dr Zhou why the hell do I need too???
