I can picture is now, all you student Doctors being taken around a hospital ward by some eminent Surgeon. He comes to the next patient, diagnoses him with a serious illness, and asks you for an appropriate treatment.

Actually, many major hospitals are now supporting acupuncturists and those who open up their own clinics often tend to make upwards of $60k a year in their first few years. The population in America alone tends to spend upwards of 45 billion dollars a year on alternative medicine. Here's more details for anyone interested:
