 It is Monday morning again and I have to get up to go to work, a residency program at HeCares...The past week I have been working on a young mom who came in to induce labor for her baby. I did everything acupuncture, tuina, etc and nothing happened… it was so disappointing !!!!
During each session, I was asking myself-are we crazy? No. The real question should be who is crazier between my patient and me? Ding! A message received! I didn’t even want to check whom it came from … on my second thought, it might be something important. To my big surprise - it was a cute baby’s picture. She made it! My patient send me her baby girl’s picture and thanked me for my good work… Well , let's say Happy Life !!! Motherhood is truly a blessed time in women's life. Pregnancy brings with it a lot of joy and also many moments of anxiousness. There would be a lot of questions going through the mind of the person who is going to be a Mother. As the due date comes closer, anxiousness increases, along with joy. I'm blessed and honored to be part of your journey... Sandhya Sathyanarayana, L. Ac. Licensed Acupuncturist & Herbalist

As a fervent Warriors' fan not knowing if Kevin Durant could play the critical Game 5 today, I can't help wondering if KD has been diagnosed correctly and provided the most effective and integrative care since the injury. Based the following report, KD appeared to have been seeing an orthopedic surgeon who thought it was only Grade I tear in his calf. Apparently, he did not need surgery if his diagnosis was correct. Therefore, I keep wondering who is in charge of KD's treatment plans and what kind of medical care has been rendered since then. Based on my 30+ years of clinical experience involving treating hundreds of calf tears, I believe KD should have been back on court at least by Game 4 if not earlier had he received timely and adequate physical therapy, massage therapy, or acupuncture, etc. An orthopedic surgeon might be knowledgeable and effective for bones and ligaments. KD's strained calf was originally diagnosed as Grade 1, now maybe a Grade 1-plus, or a Grade 2. I'm not trying to be judgmental, however, this really doesn't sound a typical expert opinion with any confidence and assertiveness. Therefore, in my opinion, KD would better start to seek someone who has more experience in soft tissue injuries if he'd want to return to this Finals and continue to advance his career.   |
