The Acupuncturist's Oath Explained

Image
Two thousand and four hundred years before the Hippocrates came up with his famous oath, Chinese aspiring acupuncturists already swore an oath before they could be initiated.

Duron) As in many cultures at that time, the swearing in of the new acupuncturist consisted in a blood oath.

The fact that, nowadays, most students come out of school with life-long debts is considered normal. It wasn't always the case. Has education always cost an arm and a leg? Not so long ago, th...
