quote:There was a TV special probably made in the 1970's just after China had reopened to the west. In one segment, the news team was covering the "wonders" of Chinese medicine.
Free acupuncture
They showed a man having a small hernia repaired under acupuncture w/o other anesthesia. At the end, the journalist was agog in admiration of Chinese medicine. He interviewed the patient, saying
"That was just amazing!"
The patient smiled and nodded appreciatively.
"They performed that whole surgery with no anesthesia, only acupuncture?"
The patient smiled and nodded affirmatively.
"That is just amazing! ...and it didn't hurt at all."
The patient responded, "Oh no. Hurt very much!"
