If I were going to an accupuncturist's office, I'd expect it to look like a psychologist's: homey, comforting, restful colors and art. Definitely art in the waiting room (no damn TV spouting soaps, but please yes an array of magazines if I forget my book), and also the examination rooms should have murals on the ceilings, or interesting prints to gaze at, both the ceiling and the floor if you use those massage tables that have a hole for your face. I'm needlephobic, the only way I could relax with pins getting stuck in me (even tiny ones that I can't feel) is if I were looking at something interesting as it was happening.

When do I go to a doctor, when to a healer? Uh. I can't go to either right now, better ask me again when I have some form of health insurance and/or a decent job.
