the doctor
February 29th, 2008today was my boss’s last day. that pretty much blows. i haven’t been to see my doctor yet. but last time i was there…
he’s an interesting sort of fellow. he’s a general practitioner, but has a greater interest in healing energy bodies than he does in prescribing zoloft. one visit, he sent me off on a quest to find a list of different chinese medicines, with placenta at the top of the list. if that’s not weird enough, not only did we find some “placenta nourishing pills,” but when we were in vancouver we actually bought somebody’s or something’s placenta. it’s in the linen closet for someday when we have a show-and-tell. or maybe we’ll invite an arch-nemesis over for soup one night. in order to prescribe his medications, my doctor uses muscle testing. you hold the box in one hand, hold up the other arm, and he goes to town. in lieu of a box, in case he doesn’t have it there… you just say the name of the herbal concoction. it’s brilliantly simple. and also works for acupuncture points. he puts pressure on the point, hold up an arm and see what happens.
last time i was there, it was before i started doing a lot more yoga and sitting in mediumship circles. it should be interesting to see if there’s any difference. i’m excited to go back again. but not excited to feel like crap right now.
