| [00:03.112] |
- How do I say your name again? |
| [00:05.936] |
- Martin. |
| [00:10.403] |
- Right, Martin. |
| [00:13.851] |
Think the headaches have a lot to do with your posture at the computer. |
| [00:19.645] |
Can I just look at your tongue? |
| [00:26.993] |
Yes. |
| [00:30.458] |
Do you get cold fingertips? |
| [00:33.000] |
- Um, yes. Sometimes. |
| [00:41.392] |
- I'll just take your pulse. |
| [00:49.153] |
Your spleen is damp. |
| [00:51.497] |
- Mm. |
| [00:56.409] |
- Have you had acupuncture before? |
| [00:59.218] |
- No. |
| [01:00.223] |
(It's important for patients to relax fully before I start the treatment,) |
| [01:04.041] |
- Okay, right. Let's have you up on the table. |
| [01:07.976] |
(otherwise it can be a bit distressing.) |
| [01:12.823] |
Just put your wrist down by your side. |
| [01:16.787] |
You may feel a little tingle when I put this one in. |
| [01:28.840] |
(The nails I use are between nine and fourteen inches long, and half an inch thick.) |
| [01:36.546] |
Okay, and now, two in your stomach. |
| [01:48.654] |
(They must go through the body part, and at least two inches into the table,) |
| [01:56.212] |
(otherwise the patient will slide off when I prop them against the wall.) |
| [02:00.626] |
And the other one. Can you move your head at all? |
| [02:06.366] |
- Don't want to. |
| [02:09.762] |
- Okay. Now, what I'm going to do, Martin, is prop you up on your board. |
| [02:22.404] |
Right. You might feel a little uncomfortable, |
| [02:26.269] |
'cause you're taking the weight of your body on those nails through your arms. |
| [02:30.898] |
- Yep. |
| [02:32.111] |
- So, you might want to try and just push down a bit. |
| [02:35.622] |
- Yep. |
| [02:37.740] |
(Often, I'll leave several patients together along the walls.) |
| [02:40.503] |
- Be back about half an hour. |
| [02:43.759] |
(They're usually concentrating too much on themselves to notice anything else.) |
| [02:51.054] |
Now Martin, I'm just gonna give your stomach nails a little tweak. |
| [02:57.480] |
Can you feel that? |
| [02:59.388] |
- Yes. |
| [03:00.670] |
- This one? |
| [03:04.209] |
Good. |
| [03:08.350] |
Sorry? |
| [03:12.084] |
Oh, Sarah's fainted. Alright. |
| [03:14.832] |
Yeah. That's quite normal. |
| [03:19.789] |
Alright Sarah? |
| [03:21.911] |
Just waking you up. Alright? |
| [03:24.413] |
There we are, alright? |
| [03:26.771] |
That's it. Wakey-wakey! |
| [03:30.181] |
(I think the treatment is very successful.) |
| [03:34.482] |
Deep breaths, everyone! |
| [03:37.085] |
(I've never had a patient come back.) |
| [03:42.122] |
(We have difficulty getting some of them to leave.) |
| [03:47.790] |
(Under their own steam.) |
| [03:51.189] |
(We just have to leave them out the back.) |
| [03:56.526] |
(They've normally gone in the morning.) |
| [04:02.919] |
(Yeah.) |
| [04:03.829] |
|
