Rozz -

 

Deke is a friend of mine. However, the assumptions that he makes around the

nature of exactly what the vessels are is not confirmed by any experts on

classical Chinese literature that I have consulted.

 

That said, in the doctoral program at Emperor's College, the learners receive

hospital privileges. At Good Samaritan Hospital, for the most part the record

keeping process involves western medical terminology. Deke's theorem of

translation and interpretation of the Nei Jing could be especially useful in

these

environs.

 

To me, the practice of wholism is practiced by westerners and easterners, and

has more to do with the practitioner's view of the patient than the

terminology used. I have seen practitioners of eastern medicine be just as

perfunctory

and minimizing as western practitioners, focusing strictly on the chief

complaint.
