My impostor syndrome is cured a little when a machine learning expert mentions acupuncture.


I dunno, my normal doc referred me to some clinic some time that did some kind of accupuncture. I’m not given to the interpretation that he believes in alternative medicine, so there must be something to it.

I thought people sticking needles in me was fucking scary though, so I never went more than the one time.


i dunno man, i was in pain for 2 full years, people try alternative medicine when when main stream medicine does not work, whats a couple 100$ dollar difference does it make?


The core of most alternative medicine is: listening to your body, easy exercise, and taking time. In other words, the perfect circumstances for your body to naturally recover.

But then the patient and practitioner attribute the recovery to needles, or energy beams, or homeopathy, or religion.

Well, I'm happy that they recover.
