The acupuncture

Of course as acupuncture was very new the "medicine academy" was against him... But the results was so fantastic people could only worship him!... except his own doctors fellow workers who send him for years only desperate cases! But my father was always against people who can do acupuncture or even homeopathic without being doctors, and he only took students if they were doctors! He made the lot of lawsuits against the ones who wanted to do acupuncture without being a doctor before.

He wanted the academy to recognize it as a real medicine in order to suit all the "charlatan"… But they never recognize it officially, (as they do for homeopathic) that is why everybody could call themselves acupuncture doctor without having the right to do it. Every morning he received poor people in hospital for free... but at his office he made rich people paid a lot. He was very well known and had a lot of honors.

During the war in 1942 we were in Annecy it was still the "free line" and my mother left for Paris to assist my sister having her child, so I was alone with my father and being 18 he asked me to help him. But I am very impress by people having wounds or hurts, and I was more fainting that standing up! So I was a very bad nurse! I tried 10 months, but when France was completely occupied we came back to Paris, and I happily went back to my Beaux arts studies... and was helping Nina Ricci as a designer... until the very first show the top model got sick and Nina Ricci asked me to be at her place for one day... and I stayed there for 2 years. I was very well paid, I was the only model having the right to go out with the dresses... and my father of course did not know about my new job until one of her client saw me there and told him!
