"Feel the pulse" by Dr Yang

Dr Yang provided the local Chinese community with a unique medical service in honour of Women's Day on March 8th called "pulse diagnosis" or "pulse examination", also known as "feeling the pulse". This practice involves using the fingers to sense the pulse at different points on a patient's wrist to diagnose and treat various health conditions based on the overall state of the body's organs and systems.


"pulse diagnosis" or "pulse examination" is a medical technique in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the term can also be used metaphorically to describe assessing the mood or overall health of a community, business, or organization. It requires a perceptive approach, intuition, and the ability to read between the lines to understand the underlying attitudes and motivations of the people or entities being assessed. This process is commonly used in marketing, politics, and social commentary to gather information and insights to inform decision-making and strategic planning.
