Year of the Dog
In just a few weeks it will be the CHinese New Year. We are leaving the Year of the Rat and entering the Year of the Dog. I only find that to be significant because I was born in a Dog Year.
I truly think this year my clinic is going to take off and exceed my dreams. My personal life is going to change too, but since I never write about my personal life I am not going to start now...
I have some amazing opportunities coming along. I just did a presentation, last week, to a group of doctor's and nurses that treat women that are experiencing postpartum depression. It was hosted by St. Joseph's Hospital here in Tucson. I was impressed to be in a group of directors for four or five local hospitals. There were nurses and psychiatrists, as well as a few doctors. It was interesting to speak to them about TCM and how we see postpartum depression. I was also surprised to learn that between 10 -13% of women experience PPD. Not just the 'baby-blues' but real depression and in some cases quite severe depression. Regrettfully the severe ones are the ones we hear about in the news...
From what I heard the group was really enthusiastic. But like I always say, "If you put that with $2 you can buy a cup of coffee downtown." I would love to get a foot in the door, but I know not to hold my breath.
I am also working to create a connection with the "Integrative Oncology Unit" to see if we can start working together. Save your $2 and just buy me one cup of coffee...
The one that may be the most fun would be the Wildcats (U-of-A) athletic department. I am trying to get a clinic going there. Who know's, first meeting went great. We'll see where it goes from there..
I would write more, but it is 10:40 and I have to get up early to finish my class notes. Teaching is fun, but it does keep me running.
Till the next time.
OH yeah, I forgot to mention I changed the comment section so that it takes a human to reply. I was getting more comments from robots on the web than I like...
Love & Respect to all.
