Emergency Rooms, Acupuncture and Prescriptions

Spent all morning in an American emergency room for the first time since 1976. Diagnosis: lumbosacral strain (not sure how that happened!!??) Not too many differences between the emergency room procedures in Japan and the U.S. Japanese generally look busier. Have two prescriptions but I want to stick with simply ibuprofen. The drugs of choice at hospitals are different in Tokyo and California. Here, Vicodin seems in ample supply. I never heard of Vicodin in Japan - acupuncture was my remedy and "shippu" patches. What I need is a good acupuncturist. In Tokyo, I went to the great Greg Sappers. All I've found here is an office in Ventura that plays alot of New Age music but they are really wimpy on the needling.
