Patient's question:
Sometimes, when doctors treat illnesses, they take pulse, percuss, and ask a few questions about where it hurts and when it hurts, and then they can diagnose the condition. How can modern doctors treat illnesses without relying on instruments? I'm not a doctor, but with the help of instruments, I can also diagnose. What's going on with modern doctors? What kind of assistance do they care about? Why don't they study traditional Chinese medicine properly?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. The condition you mentioned is the observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine's syndrome differentiation and treatment. Many times, seeing a doctor does not require instruments. However, medicine should take the strengths and weaknesses into account. Some diseases can be diagnosed and treated early with the help of advanced instruments, such as tumors. Some diseases require instruments to test inflammation, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Some diseases need instruments for better localization and treatment, such as X-rays in orthopedics.
