What do you do when you don’t know what to do. Clinical solution to most common dilemma.

‘From not knowing to knowing is the path of the healer”. Not knowing what to do- relates to the period before making a clinical decision. This period is a common situation accompanying any clinician. These few moments can lead to either doubt or certainty. In this process, from dilemma, a decision emerges. The presentation discusses this process step by step from uncertainty to certainty. When there is a clear diagnosis or clinical experience this process is much easier, but exploring the decision-making process in the case when there is no clarity is the real challenge. The lecture relies on 30 years of clinical experience, interviewing many collogues on this topic and observing the writings  of Acupuncture Masters, who shared the points prescriptions protocols they used in these situations.

In order to get the best clinical effect and create healing it is important to create clarity and to see all the options.
