Advantages and disadvantages of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine

Viewpoint 0 1 Disadvantages of Chinese medicine: The quality of Chinese medicine has a lot to do with who the doctor is, because Chinese medicine pays more attention to experience, and some things can only be expressed in words, and there is no completely accurate quantitative standard. Many people say that Chinese medicine is unreliable because of the same disease. Different doctors prescribe different drugs, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work, and no one can say for sure. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine is generally bitter and not very delicious, and it is troublesome to boil medicine, inconvenient to carry and slow in curative effect. It is also difficult to learn Chinese medicine, because all kinds of theories are abstract, prescription drugs are varied, and the dosage of each medicine is very small. It is not easy to inherit our Chinese medicine culture, and many Chinese medicine students need to fight for it all their lives.

Advantages of TCM: As long as the dialectical thinking is correct and the clinical experience is rich, it can be affirmed that TCM is effective and the curative effect is very good. Many of them have immediate effects and can treat many diseases that western medicine can't solve, and there are few side effects and adverse reactions. Traditional Chinese medicine has many characteristic therapies, such as acupuncture, cupping and scrapping, which are worth learning from western medicine. After all, Chinese medicine is the accumulation of thousands of years of culture and experience, and its existence must be reasonable. It is Chinese medicine that has protected our Chinese children for thousands of years.

Disadvantages of western medicine: Western medicine changes rapidly. Learning western medicine requires continuous learning, continuous enrichment and learning to question. Ten years after graduation, half of my knowledge during my study will be overturned. In other words, some surgical procedures and medication habits that we think are correct at present are likely to be found to be very wrong in the near future. Just like the abuse of antibiotics and hormones before, I thought I found a powerful drug, but in fact there were many side effects. Western medicine has developed rapidly and is still in the process of development. There are still many imperfections, and there are still many unknown fields waiting for everyone to explore.

Advantages of western medicine: western medicine has clear thinking and standardized operation. There is a standard plan for what kind of diseases should be treated. Medical students are also very studious, many of them are very clear, not as ambiguous as Chinese medicine. Western medicine has developed rapidly and the curative effect is also remarkable. The development of imaging has also accelerated the development of the whole medical field, so that everyone can understand their physical condition and communicate with patients and their families more easily. In addition, western medicine is convenient to carry, has quick curative effect and can quickly treat symptoms.

Special note: Chinese medicine and western medicine should be respected!
