Clinic: August 9
Another busy day in the student clinic. I have been observing student interns not instructors which is a little disappointing. I guess with it being summer things are less busy. At least the interns do still, sometimes, consult with the supervising instructor so I am able to learn that way. Had a chance today to follow a couple different interns. #1: This woman has been receiving treatment for a few years for her frozen shoulder. The treatment principle is mainly local points for the shoulder; tonify Yin & LR points to affect tendons. I have noticed in this clinic a lot more emphasis on local points and ashi points. #2. This was a new patient; a 27 yo man complaining of candida. Lots of intestinal issues, headache/dizziness with mental fog and rashes. Main diagnosis was damp & heat. The treatment principle was draining damp and moving Qi especially in the middle Jiao, then boost SP Qi once the damp is gone....
