The Journey Begins Here

Building a website doesn’t necessarily need to be a long and exhausting process. Use WordPress to create your website today, it doesn’t get any easier.

This is how it all started…

Like most stories this one begins with a birth. As a child born in Hong Kong, Mom took me to see many zhong yi (TCM) doctors specialists in herbalogy, bone science and acupuncture. Through the course of a long life I have visited many more zhong yi to deal with all of life’s ailments (just as many of the 1.4 billion people in China). That is not to say everyone uses zhong yi today but at some point in the past thousands of years, it should not be surprising that most people in the country used one of the many forms of what we refer today as Traditional Chinese Medicine. 

These are the history of Jane, my wife and my own observations after decades of interviews, examinations, and diagnostic discussions with doctors. This is the story of a professional patient and her medical journal on the road to healing, healthy outcomes and medical school. Like many prospective doctors, the intense drive to master medicine begins with trying to solve a problem or some personal experience related to illness. Sometimes that drive may take the form of a relative suffering or just the desire to end the pain of others. While the stories are endless the drive is the same, to make things better, medical students are people who believe they can change the world, one patient at a time.
