Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Well, maybe I've only met the exceptions to the rule. I've had a few MD students who have gone through the Masters program and I've felt like they have give me more respect than the average student. I think it's that they fully realize the complexity of health and what a difficult task it is to apply the abstractions and subjectivity of TCM diagnosis to the patient. This is the art form they are looking for. (so maybe I'm not a Master but I do have something to teach!) doug > > One last item: easy on the hubris. Teaching people with MDs could be rewarding, but don't count on them to look up to you. I'm pretty sure they'll be able to figure out, even at a glance, who the masters of Chinese medicine are .... and who aren't. The MDs are the ones who went through the internships and residencies in acute care, remember? > Emmanuel Segmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Here here! I have many MD colleagues in Philly who have taken Chinese medicine seriously, who have given up practicing medicine to devote their practice to Chinese Medicine, who really really get it.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Douglas, A good teacher is known by their students. If you were respected and appreciated by the best in your class, my guess is that you deserved it. Well done! Emmanuel Segmen Well, maybe I've only met the exceptions to the rule.
