Quackery
One of my colleagues recently went to a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to get his back pain looked at. The usual stuff-- acupuncture and herbal concoctions. When he first sat down with the quack:
Quack: You got a problem right?
Colleague: Err.... yeah.
Quack: If now no problem, next time also sure got problem!
You're so awed by that statement, right? >_<"
And the best thing is, he signed up for a course of treatments there.

p/s: I'm awed with the quack's statement, also awed with your colleague.
hard to find honest chinese doctors nowadays!
Even Chiropractors? Huhu. Sometimes, MDs are just too callous.
@BBear:
But I seriously doubt needles can alleviate bone problems.
@SJ:
For certain things I guess. It's just that most times, serious things get delayed treatment for the wrong reasons.
@L2:
Har. I dunno wor.
@Jan:
My colleague seems uncertain. A MRI would have cleared any doubts about a slipped disc of fractured vertebra.
@LittleD:
They're perfect for each other.
@Nicky:
I've never tried acupuncture.
@CCat:
It's like telling him, "you're gonna die, if not today, then next year."
Yeah la... that's the tactic.
Legs:
Any good ones in Beijing?
