When I saw my doc in Dec '09, the usual "how are you doing, etc." When I told him I was having trouble with my balance the discussion got deeper. He wanted to know what I had been doing that might be different, trying to figure out the 'why' of the imbalance. Told him that I hadn't been drumming every day, nor had we had drum circles due to venue problems. He looked me in the eye and said, "Don't you realize the healing power of the drum? Your Rx: drum daily. .. no excuses about venue. Drum by yourself, because in so doing, you will not be by yourself." Jim, he is an AMA doc but really thinks outside the box! Yes, have folliowed the Rx... much better!
