Clinical practise in China

I have to say this was a wonderful and eye opening experience! 

Each day was spent in clinic seeing patients with a variety of conditions from stroke to depression.

Interestingly each Doctor although trained in Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine also drew on their family tradition of practice and so developed their own unique approach. This is something I draw on within my own practise through experience and observation of results.

Very little time was spent sight seeing unfortunately but we were able to visit some of the main attractions such as the great wall, the forbidden city, lots of local temples and markets....I think my colleagues will vouch for me developing a China shopping bug! 

By the end of the visit we had all learnt how to cross the road....a unique China experience and I still call this method China crossing which my Niece finds hilarious! 

Hope you enjoy the images....I was a very young looking brunette back then!
