How...You find a lot of nurses into holistic stuff.<br /><br />How much has to do with doctors doing a CYA because of the threat of malpractice and how much because doctors will order every test known to man because the Feds (us) are paying for it, is up for grabs.edutcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033144261502435196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-36536256507094900572013-07-20T07:36:37.867-07:002013-07-20T07:36:37.867-07:00I looked up pin firing/blistering of horses' l...I looked up pin firing/blistering of horses' legs and got nothing I can see/watch.<br /><br />Can you find anything?The Crack Emceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366101526773588864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-63551200372316653312013-07-20T07:00:10.845-07:002013-07-20T07:00:10.845-07:00I consider alternative medicine in much the same w...I consider alternative medicine in much the same way as the pin firing/blistering of horses' legs (look it up and be prepared to be amazed) back in my youth (which I had the great misfortune to witness and care for as a kid (the smell, sight, and sound will never leave me) -- it made an impression).<br />The actual procedure doesn't do a blasted thing (imhao) and can be harmful (again, imhao). Although in fairness to pin firing, at least it enforced the actual treatment of choice for the horses thanks to the damaging effects of the "treatment". So I guess the ponies have it luckier than most people with regards to alternative treatments.<br />And fortunately the practice has died out in the ensuing 20 years which I can't say for the treatments for people.<br /><br />PW<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
