May 12th 2011 - Old school (Day 87)

   I'm not one for seeing doctors, but a friend took us to a traditional Chinese doctor today.

   Walking into the room the whole place smelt of medicinal herbs, and after awhile we were called to see the man himself. The guy must've been at least 70, he talked with the energy of a 40 year old and wrote like he was in his mid 30s. And all he did was took the pulse on both hands, and began to describe what our problems were,
both the wife and I were amazed at how he pin pointed out the problems,
 and immediately wrote down the required meds.

   After the brief visit, we sat there waiting for the herbs to be packed into individual bags and was told how to make it, we are to drink it for a week and return, quite the unique experience, especially for the wife.
