I came to be treated by the acupuncturist Wan Mei Woo two years ago. The office is quite dated and there is no privacy, everyone can hear your conversation with the acupuncturist through the walls. I conceived the month that I started seeing her. She was offended when I asked her what the treatment plan was - I thought it was a fair question and I wanted to learn - she responded with technical Chinese terms that I would not understand. At every appointment, she would place needles on me without explaining what she was treating. I saw her weekly for about 2 months until I found out I had a missed miscarriage at my medical doctor’s office. My baby had already died when I saw the acupuncturist a few days prior. I was heartbroken and I never went back to her after this event - she had lost all my trust and my belief in acupuncture as a whole. I do not blame the miscarriage on her but I expected her to at least notify me during the pulse reading - after all - isn’t that supposed to tell her what was going on with my body and what needed to be treated?
