True value of acupuncture & moxibustion clinic taught by the late Prof. F. Shirota, Tokyo Women's Medical University / 全日本鍼灸学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

Prof F. Shirota passed away on Jan 23rd in 2005 at the age 63. We, the trainees instructed by him at the Oriental Medicine Training Center, Nissan Tamagawa Hospital, have been stray sheep ever since.<BR>I am very happy to have the chance to report on the true value of acupuncture & moxibustion clinic taught by him at the 55th Annual Meeting.<BR>To understand this theme, I asked the help of colleagues taught by him at the Center for 26 years and got a final report in cooperation with them. The report is composed of his books, his speeches, his words of instruction at the clinical site, his special lecture as his last words at the 50th Annual Meeting at Kobe, and reports and suggestions given to me by 18 former trainees at the Center.
