"Classic of Difficulties: Difficult Questions in Medicine, Acupuncture, and Beyond" is a new podcast and YouTube channel by Dr. James Mohebali, doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
We try to ask difficult questions from both a philosophical and a practical perspective about medicine, health, alternative medicine, and everything in between. We hope to deepen the conversation about medicine, taking it beyond the questions of "what's good" and "what's bad," instead trying to figure out what philosophies and assumptions underlie our approaches to medicine, so that we can begin to understand what's really at stake when we think about our health and wellness.

Heart Series, Pt. 3: Two Hearts of Chinese Medicine

Circulation is more complicated than you thought! Between the Heart and the Pericardium, Chinese medicine has a lot to say about blood.
Running an empire can be a complex task! In Chinese medicine, the functions of the heart are divided between two separate organs, the Heart and the Pericardium. But, as with all of the organs in Chinese medicine, the functioning of the body is a springboard for a deeper discussion into mental health, spirituality, and more. Join Dr. James Mohebali as we look at trauma, PTSD, Game of Thrones, Varys, the emperor & the eunuch, and of course sex, drugs, and rock & roll, in order to understand the deeper meaning of the Heart organ, so that we understand what it really means when we have a broken heart. Touching on blood stasis, stillbirth, complex and chronic illnesses, birth trauma, the contributions of John Shen and Leon Hammer, Freudian views of children, and the difference between agape love and eros love, this episode tries to get to the heart of the issue.
