Inspiration for the Un-Inspired

Something happened recently that I wanted to share with everyone…
I have what I consider to be the best job in the world, I get to meet people, hear their stories and help them with their health concerns. I genuinely enjoy my days and all of my patients….but I still can get a little frustrated with people after watching the news and hearing about all of the terrible things that people do to each other. A couple of days ago something happened that was refreshing and inspiring…
I was half way through my day when a patient who has had about 15 allergy treatments came in. This person is a big believer in acupuncture and has had some incredible transformations during this process. When I was getting ready to leave the room so she could rest, she said, “remind me to talk to you about someone I want to fund.” I didn’t really understand what she meant by that so when we were done with her treatment I waited to hear the whole story. She continued to tell me about a person who has some very serious health concerns and who doctors have pretty much given up on. I want to make it clear that she has never met this person, just heard their story through a mutual friend. After explaining the situation to me she asked if I thought that acupuncture and/or allergy elimination could help and I said that I thought it would and I would like to give it a try. My patient said she wanted to pre-pay for 10 treatments for this person who was ill. I was so surprised that she would offer something so generous for someone she had never met… she explained that if she could help someone (even a stranger) get healthy and take their life back after everyone else had given up on them…. that would be re-payment enough. It was an example of kindness and generosity that I had never witnessed before and I am forever grateful to my patient who reminded me to never miss an opportunity to help someone in need.
Glad you enjoy the job. So many people wouldn’t have the head for it, we should be eternally grateful for those that do.
Keep up the good work.
