Making a Name for Myself in the ER with Traditional Chinese Medicine

“The emergency department is Western medicine’s turf? Perfect. I’m here to wreck the place. No, I mean lend a hand.”

I carry a set of silver needles passed down from my grandfather. They’re said to have a “spirit” of their own, though really, they just feel great in my hands. My bag is always stocked with moxa sticks, a gua sha board, and fast-acting heart pills.
