| Because our recent days have been pretty dark, I decided to bring some light and happiness to everyone with a fun read about community acupuncture. I hope you enjoy the story. - Steve
********** Two years have passed since his father’s death and it’s time for Dr. Ray Zywicky to reopen his acupuncture clinic and return to life. But Ray won’t practice like before. The insurance companies helped cause his father’s demise and that’s unforgivable. Perhaps there’s another way – with a low cost, no insurance, community clinic. But is it worth the risk and effort?
Join Ray in Bibelot, Washington, a little jewel of a town, where Bonnie Brown’s brews great coffee, Rusty’s bar serves dubious drinks, uncle Mel runs the family funeral home, and an unusual cast of characters poke at each other, while Ray pokes them all, at the Northwest’s newest community clinic.
Steven Knobler is a Doctor of Acupuncture in Washington State where he runs North Seattle Community Acupuncture with his stalwart crew of acupuncturists and support staff. The NorthSea is open 7 days a week and has been providing community care since 2009.

As more of you are ordering from Amazon, remember to select POCA Tech through their Amazon Smile program. Though it may seem small, Amazon contributes .5 percent of eligible purchases to your selected charity (Go POCA Tech!). The total to date contributions are $4,111.06. Though Janis Hill of Cohort 3 doesn't want to line the pockets of Jeff Bezos at least she is glad that some of her purchases generated a donation to POCA Tech.
