"You want some of this?"
Saw Dr. Kim (my acupuncturist) yesterday and I made the mistake of telling him that I had a little back pain. So, face down I go on the table, face in the donut hole. He starts sticking the needles in my back and OMG! WTH! I was thisclose to coming off the table and running out the door!
Dr. Kim: "Did that hurt?"
Me: "yeeessss!" sniff sniff
Dr. Kim: "Are you crying?"
Me: "yeeessss." sniff sniff (nose running...not good when you're face down)
Dr. Kim: "You have inflammation." "It will hurt little but then o.k."
Me: "It hurt A LOT." sniff sniff
And yes, a few more needles did hurt (almost as bad) but after he hooked up the electrodes it did start to feel better.
Dr. Kim is Korean and is probably one of those "he has a calm exterior but could totally take you out with one karate chop" kind of guys but if he does that again, I'll have to Bruce Lee his ass!
