ashamed of the way I feel.
- You must never tell...
- Hi, Alice. Nina, hi.
- How is your back? Feeling any better?
- No, it's worse. It's much worse.
I have the perfect man for you to see. He's
an acupuncturist. His name is Dr Yang.
That's funny. My trainer
mentioned him this morning.
He's not just an acupuncturist. He's
a diagnostician. He gives these herbs.
The man's a genius.
He diagnoses you from your pulse.
He took Jean Lewis's pulse
and told her she would develop an ulcer.
No Western doctor could find it.
Six months later she fell over with pain.
- I heard Jean Lewis had a wattle-ectomy.
- A good one. All that turkey-neck is gone.
- Am I getting that?
- Oh, no.
Don't forget Dr Yang.
His herbs are marvellous.
They're not chemicals. They're all natural.
Helen Dukes had vaginal tumours.
Every Western doctor wanted to operate.
She went on Dr Yang's herbs. They went
into remission. It's been three years.
- Gosh!
- Don't you have to be someplace, Alice?
- I think, yes?
- I do. I have to run.
Yeah.

Ah, Mrs Tait!
Kate and Dennis are doing great.
He's integrating beautifully.
I'm so pleased. Aren't you?
You can really see it
in his free-play period.
If you want, we can go talk for
a few minutes about a kindergarten...
..that would give him the best chances
of getting into an Ivy League college.
What have you been thinking all night?
You seem so distant.
Nothing. I keep getting
these sharp pains in my back.
Oh, Lila called before. She said the name
of that acupuncturist was Dr Yang.
Dr Yang? Really? That's the third time
today I've heard his name.
You're not gonna let someone
stick needles into you?
- I think he mostly uses herbs.
- Well, what you need is to take it easy.
Don't exercise so much. Have breakfast
in bed. Watch Good Morning America.

Dr Yang, please.
Please sit.
(speaks Chinese dialect)
The doctor will see you now.
(Dr Yang) Come in.
Please sit down.
Take coat off.
What is trouble?
I feel... just achy and tired.
My back, particularly.
I've been to a number of doctors
and they can't find anything wrong.
Problem is not back.
Problem is here, here.
Really? Cos, you know,
it feels like my back.
My back stiffens sometimes
so that I can hardly bend it.
Stop talking about back.
Nothing wrong with back.
Well, do you think it could be
that I'm exercising too strenuously?
Maybe lifting the children wrongly?
Gee, what is that?
That's the strangest-looking thing.
- Please stare at centre of wheel.
- What are you trying to do with this?
Please stare at centre and breathe deeply.
Deeply. Very deeply.
If you're trying to hypnotise me, Doctor,
I hate to see you waste your time.
Please. Please, Mrs Tait.
Rest eyes upon centre of vortex.
Yeah, but, see, the thing is,
I'm a very poor subject.
Really. It's been proven. A stage
entertainer once tried, a very famous one.
And I went right up on stage.
There were, I guess, about 12 volunteers.
I was the one
who failed to go into a trance.
See the wheel spin.
- I'm sure you know, Doctor...
- Concentrate.
..there are two categories
of peopIe, you know?
I...
You know, not everyone
can be hypnotised.
I fall into the...
Now, tell me what you see.
- Penguins.
- Penguins?
What about penguins?
They mate for life.
Yes? You think penguins are Catholic?
(laughs)
The man... he kisses me.
Who is man?
I wanna know him better...
..but I don't dare.
Please explain.
My feelings are... too scary.
I never had these feelings before.
Never?
Oh.
Once. There was a young man once.
- Not husband?
- No.
Feelings for my husband are different.
What are deepest feelings for husband?
I Iove him, but I...
But what, Mrs Tait?
Please tell husband.
Husband here in room.
You see him? Tell him.
But what, Mrs Tait?
I'm the wife, you know.
I take care of the kids,...
..I host the dinner
