Acpuncture - The wave of the future

[Guest guest]

I think it is as much about agreeing as about realizing 'just sometimes' you

gotta do things that are repugnant and idiotic.....but just the same it is a

necessary evil. We live in a less than perfect world.

 

Unfortuantely the majority of practitioner don't fight for anything. Then

again this is no different that the world in general. What is it that has been

said? 5% of the people DO 95% of the work.....

 

Hope you join AOMNC along with many others and support it in it's efforts to

insure that the 'qualified acupuncturists' truly become the STATUTORY

providers of this medicine. The more the majority sit on their butts and

do-nothing

the greater the chance that the 'weekend warriors' with little to no training

will take-over. That's just a realistic appraisal of the situation our

profession faces RIGHT NOW.
