Sorry.

Let me put it more politely: "Evidence" that holds the experience of the patient as irrelevant is not an adequate foundation for practice. It may contain important building blocks, but when information derived from patient experience is expressly rejected, then it has no business creating patient experiences. This isn't number theory or theoretical physics. This is human beings' lives.

Every acupuncture doctor I know has a far higher opinion of north/western medicine than I do, and there's a reason for that: they work with medical doctors, while I worked with patients. Medical records and client interviews tell a very different story than cells under a microscope do.
