Seeing Ahmad Carter’s puzzled expression, Peter Brown said: "There are many aspects to traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, inside Chinese medicine, there are the interactions of the Five Elements – something every medical student knows."

Ahmad Carter nodded and said, "That’s true."

Peter continued: "Actually, when diagnosing illnesses, besides learning from our studies, there are some things that medicine alone cannot solve. Why is it that some people don’t see any effect after taking so much medicine? Is it because we’re using the wrong medicine? Some patients relapse after taking medicine for just a few days. What’s the reason for that?"

Ahmad Carter hadn’t really thought about this issue, so he just nodded slightly and started to ponder.

"Please, sit down," Ahmad Carter said to Peter, no longer underestimating him, and motioned for him to sit down.

Peter didn’t stand on ceremony, and sat down.

"Please elaborate on your view," Ahmad Carter said, looking like a student with a strong thirst for knowledge, asking Peter for his advice.

Peter said, "In fact, there is a neglected aspect of medical diagnosis, which is the feng shui of a person’s home. This seemingly trivial matter can have a great impact on the patient’s condition. Let’s take your situation as an example. I believe that with your medical skills, this problem should be easily solved. But after taking your medicine, patients often relapse in just two days. Haven’t you ever thought about the reason behind this?"

"Yes, you’re right. No matter how I modify the prescription, I would have the same problem again after taking it for a maximum of two days," Ahmad responded.
