No. I believe there is effort made to cover the basics and what the different pulses, in theory, represent but, practical application is lacking. Hands on instruction is weak. It would be much more helpful to have more hands on instruction and practice in a class focused on helping us feel/hear what these different pulses REALLY are like and what they mean. Plus, it seems so subjective that the instructors give conflicting opinions of what a single pulse is really presenting as. It all seems very confusing at times. Pulse diagnosis will always be subjective but, is there some way the students can just get a clear foundation of the basic 28-29 pulses? ...Before the water gets all muddy with all the fancy complicated pulse theories out there. Is there some standard of instruction that can be adopted so that we are not getting conflicting information from different instructors? Some of the best direction I have gotten was from
Will Morris in a weekend seminar, who confirmed for me what I was feeling or was not, and from Robert Laguna who narrowed down the objective qualities of pulses that can always be true (fast/slow, thin/wide, deep/superficial, weak/strong). Thanks.
My two cents. Diane J
