the other day, a patient came to see me for her first acupuncture appointment complaining of headaches.  i talked to her at length about her headaches, where in her head she had them, the type of pain she was having, what she had tried already, etc.  and although her headaches brought her in to see me, i still needed to look at all aspects of this patient.  so, i began with my rather long list of questions, starting with her digestion and ending with heart palpitations! 
 
why all the questions...
