Doctor's answer:

To effectively treat asthma, it's not about finding a good hospital, but rather about finding a skilled doctor. This is sufficient because the diagnosis and treatment of asthma rely entirely on a doctor's skills and experience, and do not require high-end medical equipment from the hospital. This condition is prone to misdiagnosis, leading to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, hormones, or asthma relief medications. A doctor's level of diagnostic and treatment expertise determines the life fate of an asthma patient.
