It is written that there are three kinds of practitioners in an old Traditional Chinese Medicine book.

First of all, a practitioner treating diseases of patient by understanding the mind of patients,

Secondly, a practitioner treating diseases of patient by controlling the food of patients,

Thirdly, a practitioner treating diseases of patient by prescribing the herbal medicine to patients.

When I read above-mentioned, I believed that it would take so long time to be a practitioner treating diseases of patient by understanding the mind of patients.

 

However, while I treat patients, I thought that a practitioner who is willing to listen to the patient’s worry and anxiety is the one treating diseases of patient by understanding the mind of patients.

I say to myself today as well that I want to be a practitioner treating not only pain in the body, but also pain in the mind.
