If you’ve studied Traditional East Asian Medicine in English, you no doubt have benefited from the work of today’s guest.
Dan Bensky has translated, written, published and taught for more years than most students entering an acupuncture school now have been alive.
He set off for Taiwan in the early 70’s to follow his interest in learning Chinese. Taiwan was still under martial law and the mainland… the mainland was going through the horrors of the Cultural Revolution. Chinese medicine, not even on the radar for him, but something happened in Taiwan.
Listen into this conversation on language, cultural, and learning medicine street smart style.
