Introduction to Energywork (4)

I support the trans-continental waterwheel/let's follow the economy down the toilet/who stole my car?/the electric circus fart balloon side 2 i use the florida keys to open my house in miami/tv uses children as gimmicks/a comb grows in portland/you may pump gas until 1980

that is the track list of my new record

Can someone please think of another term other than client/patient? I will do some thinking about this as well. I feel "patient" is a little to risky (treading on formal medicine's toe like bludart said) and I feel client seems to cold and corporate. So there has got to be an original word that fits. It should be used universally among all body workers. Any ideas?

I'm with bludart on "client" being better than "patient," but if you're still not warm to it, maybe "recipient?" It's a bit of a mouthful (four whole syllables) and not really on the nose but perhaps a little warmer.

Sorry , but the use of the word client really doesnt fit ....in this context ..Patient sounds much better , or just Beautiful don.

[bludart]

I disagree. In recent times the term patient denotes someone who has something wrong with them. Even psychiatrists are reluctant to use the word patient for this reason. Client expresses a professional relationship between the practitioner and who they are working on without implying a problem and doesn't tread on the toes of more formal medicine.
