Being sick sucks

Back home I would have gone to a doctor that I couldn't afford because I couldn't afford health insurance. Here in the Bay Area I have options. Acupuncture, medical clinics, chinese medicine and chinese pharmacies.

Yesterday, I went to Chinatown, walked in to Draline Tong on 10th & Webster and told him my symptoms. He checks my pulse on each wrist and my tongue asks me a few questions and gives my three satchels of stick and herbs to make into tea. If I had health insurance, my doctors visit might have still been more expensive than the herbs. Boiling my first pot of tea now. Maybe this will work. After all the guy has been in business for close to 30 years. While Western Medicine is still trying to figure its self out Chinese Medicine has been around for over 3000 years. You can't mess with wisdom.
