Acupuncture in hospitals

I wish that the Denver medical community wasn't so conservative. This is what should be happening everywhere:
http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2011/oct/03/jupiter-medical-center-brings-acupuncture-to-the-o/. People deserve options. AND, acupuncture, Chinese herbal prescriptions, etc. accelerate healing. If an orthopedic surgeon had an acupuncturist on his or her staff, his/her patients would be the poster people for healing quickly after an orthopedic surgery. I did it three times myself: ACL reconstruction (running earlier than predicted), foot surgery (out of the boot early); broken wrist (out of the cast 2 weeks early) - all because, in my opinion, I did acupuncture near the injury/surgical site, used liniment that moves qi and blood, and took Chinese herbal prescriptions. And oh, no need for pharmaceutical pain killers.
