Hi All,

I have a query from a colleague on PA-L. Pam Price

I am no expert on pulses, so I referred this query to experts on the
PulseDiagnosis group. Colleagues, can you answer this?

Meanwhile, my 2 cents worth... Every living person must have a
pulse, but it may be hard to feel.

IMO this need not be pathological; it may be constitutional. I have
one client, also female, who has been coming to me for >20 years.
She is lightly built and I have difficulty feeling her radial pulses, esp
at the proximal position. With patience, I can feel both the
superficial and deep pulses in the first two positions (distal and
intermediate), Both are light and her pulse rate is unusually SLOW,
50-60 bpm. This is her pattern as long as I have known her.

If the PAS people have the email addresses of TCM professionals
who use the PAS, would it be useful to invite them into the List for
open discussion of the system?
