I love acupuncture. And I love my acupuncturist. But I cheated on her. I bought one of those online deals…two 60 minute acupuncture sessions for $49.
I went for my first session, and it was OK. I mean, it was a new acupuncturist so I had my guard up, and we didn’t have a groove like me and my ex-acupuncturist did, but I didn’t want to judge right away. I went back for my second session and I trusted her a little bit more but I just didn’t feel right.
Maybe that’s because it was the worst acupuncture experience.
During the treatment, I felt the acupuncture points she had inserted the needles into were throbbing and painful (which they shouldn’t be), but I felt maybe I was just being sensitive or feeling guilty for leaving my doctor whom I had had a loyal and trusting relationship with for two years. Turns out I wasn’t overreacting because nearly every acupuncture point was BLEEDING when she took the needles out.
Then, as I’m getting dressed, I was putting my hair up. You can probably predict what I found in my neck. Two needles. In. My. Neck. I took them out, went up to her, and said “you left these in my head”. To which she responded with a cavalier “oops, sorry…”.
I’ve deciding to follow my gut and I leave my new acupuncturist. I will come clean to my previous one and let her know I really took her for granted and no groupon deal will ever tempt me to question our relationship again.
Once again, I say “you attract the best people!!”.
Only you, Nat. Only you.
She left two needles in your neck? Holy crap thats uncalled for. Glad to hear that you ditched her.
