I had a patient come out of an Acupuncture treatment today so blissed-out that she said “Dr. Murray I think I’m Accu-Drunk”. Tee hee. That tickled my funny bone.

Acupuncture is terrific for relieving stress and anxiety. In fact I’ve had a patient coming to see me (until recently when I moved) since 1999 for Acupuncture treatments once a month because she swore it kept her off of Prozac. She called it her monthly tune up.

Love what I do and serving the people I do.

We still have spots available for Volunteer First Aiders at the Killaloe Craft Fair August 8, 9, 10. Three hour shifts. Awesome community event. Excellent music. Help us keep everyone safe and having a great weekend.

Must have a valid First Aid certificate, Life Guards and Wilderness First Aiders definately qualify OR be a registered health professional registered with RHPA.

If you are interested and want to recertify your first aid, Red Cross is holding a bunch of courses this month to qualify you 🙂. Link in the comments.

I get asked frequently what exactly it is that I do as a Naturopathic Doctor and Registered Acupuncturist. So I thought today that I would share with you the type of cases I see and how a clinic day goes.

8AM - sitting at my desk and I preview all files for today. I have 10 patients scheduled so I review what we have been working on and I create an idea of what steps we might wish to take next in their care plan.

8:30 AM - Patient struggling with Endometriosis Pain.
9:15 AM - Neck and shoulder chronic pain.
9:45 AM - Coccyx pain from a fall - his pain is mostly resolved and we will check in at about the 3 month mark to see how he is doing
10:30 - Migraines aggravated by this humid day and bladder issues in a 76 year old woman.
11:15 - Back pain.
12:00 pm - Lunch break!
12:30 PM - patient I have been seeing for about 2 years to help with nutritional counselling around type 2 diabetes who has a new diagnosis of Leukemia
1:15 PM - Rotator Cuff tear and inflammation and shoulder pain. Function has improved dramatically and pain has reduced significantly
2:00 PM - New Patient - Digestion is her chief complaint
2:45 PM - Anxiety and Depression
3:30 PM - Weight Loss and Menopause
4:00 PM - I spend an hour report writing, composing requisitions and finishing my clinical notes
5:00 PM - head for home.
