I went to the doctor's again today, to find out the results to the testing they've been running for the past week. I explained my breathing problems lately, about the hyperventilation bouts when I was little, and the collapsed lung when I was born, and he came to this conclusion: there isn't in fact something wrong with my lungs, I'm just, quite ( Read more... )

A soul transplant.. hmm.. I guess that would technically make my current soul invalid. In that case, do you think they'd accept it as a form of credit on the black market? I just need to figure out what exactly I want to sell my soul for..

And thanks for the consolation. Somehow I don't find myself stressing out about his diagnosis, partially because it's something I suspected before, and partially because the guy seemed like a bit of a nutcase himself..

Interesting...I've read about the differences before eastern medicine, and western medicine before, but seems you experienced it first hand.

Western medicine is what you're used to. Doctor comes up with what's wrong with you, you get medication to fix it. Pretty straightforward.

Eastern medicine is more about everything going on in your life. When they make a diagnosis, they take into account everything, like how you've been sleeping, who you've seen etc. and do something with all that. I dont remember this exactly, but like you've seen yourself, they try to find problems with your soul or inner self.

At least I found it interesting.
