Window on the World: Part 1 - Imagine an Oncology Clinic
Imagine an oncology clinic where many of the cancer patients appear surprisingly healthy - a glint in their eye, most with hair, and very lively. And the outpatient clinic also seats healthy patients - still returning some five to 10 years later... You're at Shugua Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in China. And that's exactly what a group of acupuncture and Oriental medicine students from Bastyr University witnessed.
