Apparently acupuncture isn't good for your memory. In Austria, an acupuncturist stuck acupuncture pins in 61-year-old patient Vivi Ziegler-- and then closed up shop, locked the door and went home after forgetting she was there. Ziegler said, "I wasn't worried as it was warm and relaxing and I fell asleep, but when I woke up it was dark and cold and I was only partially dressed." When she called for help and realized that none was coming she managed to find her mobile phone and called police, who managed to rescue her through a window.When contacted by the police he apologized and promised to give the woman free acupuncture treatment for life. He admitted he had been distracted by a phone call from another patient and completely forgot about Ms. Ziegler. At least she was nice about it saying, "I suppose everybody can have a forgetful moment, although I must admit I was a bit shocked at the time."
