Chapter 186: He Was Poisoned_1
Traditional Chinese Medicine is almost incomparable to Western Medicine in terms of accessibility.
When it comes to accuracy, Western Medicine also has an absolute disadvantage, after all, Western Medicine diagnoses based on testing human cells, tissues, and even DNA, while Traditional Chinese Medicine relies solely on the doctor’s experience and can hardly compete with the high-tech equipment of Western Medicine.
However, Traditional Chinese Medicine has its own advantages.
Firstly, there’s the level of understanding of the human body; while Western Medicine can only analyze the quality of tissues and cells, Traditional Chinese Medicine works with meridians and acupoints. By stimulating these meridians and acupoints, diseases can be treated.
Secondly, Traditional Chinese Medicine has been handed down for thousands of years, and its experience is far more abundant than that of Western Medicine. For something common like a headache and fever, Western Medicine would require a full blood count, urinalysis, and other tests, then you would need to see a doctor to get a prescription and take medication. The entire process can cost hundreds or even thousands.
But for an experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, just by looking at the tongue coating and asking about the body’s condition, they can diagnose the problem. With just one prescription, recovery can be expected in merely two or three days, and the total cost would only be a few dozen yuan.
Furthermore, the human body is quite mysterious. Although Western Medicine is developed based on a scientific system, there are many things that science cannot explain, such as ’Qi.’ Everyone has ’Qi,’ but this Qi cannot be detected by Western Medicine, whereas Traditional Chinese Medicine can easily sense it with the simple insertion of a silver needle into the acupoint.
Seeing Mo Han remain silent, Zhou William’s face showed a victorious smile. He looked at Mo Han with contempt and then said to Zhou Zhishan on the hospital bed, "Grandpa, just wait a moment, Doctor Mo Lisi’s test results will be out soon, and then we will know what’s wrong."
Zhou Zhishan’s mouth twitched slightly. He of course knew what his illness was, but unfortunately, he was utterly unable to speak. Now, he could only swallow his tears and play along, "William, you’ve worked hard."
