Looking back on your career, what is is something you’ve learned that shapes how you practice: Understanding a patient’s condition from a western medical perspective is helpful and can inform treatment, but it’s important to always go back to TCM diagnostics as the foundation. Really look and listen to the patient, be as present as possible, and be wary to not fall into using treatment protocols over individualized care.
One thing you always tell patients: In verbal and non verbal ways, I try to tell patients that their story matters and they are seen.
