Guest guest Posted February 16, 2001 Report Share Posted February 16, 2001 It is interesting to note that just about everytime there is a pneumothorax it is either a DC or MD. So, although you maybe correct about acupuncture as being fairly non-iatrogenic and whether well trained or barefoot type doctor.....still whatever the MDs and DCs think they are doing is NOT non-iatrogenic chinese acupuncture. >>>>That is also a question of aggressiveness. I for example use very aggressive needling that for the life of me I do not know why I have been so lucky because I have and not caused a pneumo. Most acupuncturist faint when they see what I often do w/ a needle. I think MD's are much more likely to try the type of techniques I do. A complication in that case is not poor education but a normal tequnique risk. Alon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
