Looking for an acupuncture cite

[epepke]

On a television program, and I think in the pages of the Skeptical Inquirer, I saw a reference to the notion that Chinese acupuncturists, before surgery, gave the patients "a little something" to relax them first.

Can anybody point me in the right direction to find this citation?

Don't know about that specific quote, but "Bandolier"is often a good place to start on medical / alt med issues.
