I prefer Docs, Doc.

I do enjoy acupuncture for symptomatic relief

I had Graves about 15 years ago now....runs in my family. My endocrinologist saved my ass and has helped with other minor problems. I can still call his PA on the phone and get antibiotics, cough meds, etc without having to come in to feed Baptist/St Thomas.

Good doctors are the best...sometimes you have to do some looking but they are out there and we have the best there is here.

I own a Merk Manual and a PDR....doctors love me...lol....I can see it in their eyes: "oh boy another self diagnosis expert"

I prefer Docs, too. It's why I are one.

Acupuncture intrigues me. I don't have the foggiest idea how it works--and no acupuncturist can explain it to the satisfaction of any Western doctor--but it is occasionally very powerful.

I have used finger acupuncture to stop full-blown migraines in a couple of patients (using a finger-pressure technique I learned from--guess who--a chiropractor I know pretty well).
