Not sure what procedure is being done from the article, but that’s putting a lot of faith into acupuncture while going under the knife:
Here’s how it works. Instead of getting a muscle relaxer like Valium, the patient spends 30 minutes in a room with an acupuncturist.Every effort is made to help the patient relax. Music, soothing words and candles all contribute to a quiet atmosphere.
Needles are placed across the face, on the hands and even on the stomach.
Instead of being wheeled in the operating room, Cathy Cosgrove and the doctor walk in calmly together.
Once on the table, Dr. Boxford injects her eyelids with a local anesthetic.
As Dr. Boxrud works, she continuously talks with Cathy, checking her comfort levels.
