Preface. I think it was probably 1999 when Houchi Dung first called to say he wanted to teach me acupuncture. I had known Dr. Dung for nearly 30 years; he was one of my interviewers when I applied to medical school, and once I was accepted and matriculated, he was one of my teachers of gross anatomy (a subject in which I did not excel). When he called those many years later, he said he was preparing to retire from the university and he wanted to teach me acupuncture. Why me? He did not say at the time, but later he admitted it was because of my joumalistic background. He fe lt a communicator was necessary to convey what he had learned over his 30-year career of sticking some 5 million needles into some 16,000 patients. In fact, he said that the reason he pushed for my acceptance into medical school was because the medical profession needed to be able to communicate better. I was skeptical. My (uninformed) opinion of acupuncture was that it was placebo, pure and simple. Flllthermore, to my thinking, it was based on metaphysical concepts that are incongruent with the principles of medicine. I put Dr. Dung off for nearly a year before he wore me down. For one thing, I had a lot of respect for him, and I owed him a debt for his suppotiing my medical career at an important time. In retrospect, his persistence was uncanny. He wanted me to spend a week or two at his clinic-he said that would be enough time to learn all I needed to know. I could not spare the time as a block. Reluctantly, he agreed to let me come on Saturday mornings, although he feared that would not give me the needed perspective to leam how to manage patients. I came to his clinic every Saturday morning for over a year, observing his patients and then incorporating what I had learned in the treatment of my own patients. As I said, I was skeptical. I was hoping to spend a few Saturdays at his clinic and then quietly fade away back to my more pressing duties. Little did I know what was in store for me. First, I had to admit almost immediately that acupuncture is not a placebo; it was obvious that Dr. Dung's patients were helped! Second, there was nothing metaphysical about his teaching. He was the same scientist I had known as a student, and he disdained nonscientific concepts of acupuncture. Dr. Dung had taken classical acupuncture and reinvented it as a medical science. His meticulous observations of his patients (and some 2,000 cadavers) over his career had led to some important discoveries, which he was generously willing to share with any practitioner willing to take the time to learn them. ...
