Acupunturists demand ‘stop bunching us in with stupid hippies’

Acupuncture Acupuncturists seeking greater acceptance within the NHS have asked the Department of Health to stop associating them with ‘bloody hippie treatments that are for gullible stupid people.’

There are many different areas of alternative medicine that are currently seeking recognition within the Health Service, but the Acupuncture Society claims that it is being damaged by association with more bizarre practices.

‘Acupuncture is a recognised medical treatment that has a basis in science’ said Gerald Longley from the Acupuncture Society. ‘Standing on a ley-line chanting with a bit of crystal is not. But every time we meet the Minister I can’t get a word in edgeways because I have to go along with bloody druids and astrologists and stupid hippies who think that muscular pain can be treated by bloody Feng Shui.’

The Health minister said his review would be looking at all forms of alternative health therapy – crystalogy, spiritualism, astrological determinism and of course, acupuncture.

‘No, he’s doing it again’ said Gerald Longley ‘Stop bunching us in with all the nutters.’
