Which is better, Chinese medicine or western medicine?

Doctor of western medicine.

1. Complex knowledge system: Chinese medicine doctors need to master the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, acupuncture and massage and other multidisciplinary knowledge, while western medicine doctors mainly focus on western medicine theory and clinical practice. The theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively complex, and more concepts and theories need to be mastered.

2. Clinical skill requirements: TCM doctors need to have TCM diagnosis and treatment skills, including pulse diagnosis, tongue diagnosis and TCM prescription. These skills need long-term practice and experience accumulation, while western medicine mainly pays attention to the clinical practice and research of western medicine, and has relatively low requirements for the clinical skills of Chinese medicine.
