Thanks to Keith for pointing out that there was a recent comment on this post:

Opening Scene of "Finding Normal"

David Fitzgerald: “...I love my job. I was born to do this shit.”

My life partner's daughter Hannah (11 years old) recently read Acupuncture is Like Noodles. Through the reading, she asked only a couple of questions, and every time I aksed her if she understood what she was reading, she said "yes". As Hannah is an aspiring writer, I asked if she would like to write someting about the book. This what she wrote:

Working Class Professionalism

Did we mention anywhere yet that the recovery mentors make about $20,000 a year, working full time?

(This is only one CAP’s outlook on the development of a practice, but perhaps someone out there will resonate with it?)

 

I don’t know if it’s just coincidental, but there was a major slowdown in my clinic just after Memorial Day weekend, which I initially attributed to the coming of summer here in the Boston area, a metropolis filled with university students and enthusiastic summer vacationers.

Previous guest-poster, CA patient and fan, and blogger extraordinaire, brownfemipower (bfp) is hosting a read-along/discussion of Noodles over at the Detroit Community Acupuncture website.  

Last night as I, my wife and our two little ones settled onto the lawn of Lions Park in Benson, Arizona, preparing for the annual Independence Day firework display to kick off, we and about 1500 residents of our small, working class town of about 5000 people watched this video.  Immediately after, the announcer called us to our feet for the national anthem.

I recently did an email interview with Lisa Rohleder for Israeli readers of my blog. You're invited to check out the English version on Yael Ernst's excellent blog on Chinese medicine.
