Ivan Susanszky withdraws needles from a patient of acupuncture clinic at the First Hospital Affiliated with the Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine, on Feb 12, 2019.
He started learning traditional Chinese medicine in 2013, in Budapest, taking the course conducted by this Heilongjiang university.
Students of the program study four years in Budapest, then they travel to Harbin to complete their training with a one-year clinical practice, according to the introduction of the course from the university.
He became interested in TCM 2012 after suffering frequent injuries.
“Since I used to play a couple of full contact sports, I often suffered from sports injury and my friend advised me to try a couple of TCM rehabilitation methods,” he said.
“It did relieve my pain, and helped with other injuries as well.”
Besides, Susanszky got bored working as journalist, or rather a critic. His TCM treatment and knowledge about sports medicine, physical therapy and diet lead him to get a TCM degree, a step to get closer to this field.
