This underscores the importance of understanding the potential risks and complications associated with acupuncture, especially in vulnerable individuals.

Importance of Safety and Training in Acupuncture Practice

This tragic incident highlights the critical need for proper training and safety protocols in acupuncture practice. It's like navigating a desert and encountering a hidden sandstorm. Proper knowledge and precautions are essential to ensure the well-being of patients.
