What is the best advantage of TCM? IMHO: cheap!
In the past, there was a traditional Chinese medicine hospital on Jinling East Road in Shanghai, and many patients from other places came here. For a long time, I thought this was a Chinese medicine store, because it looked like a street shop, and there were always crowds of people queuing, and later it was determined that it was a home hospital. I remember many years ago, there was a customer from out of town who went there to dispense medicine after finishing his business, and I sent it there. On the way, he said that his father had been taking medicine here and had basically controlled the early stage of throat cancer, I was very surprised, so I asked the price, and then with the calculator in my mobile phone, we came to the conclusion: no more than 10 yuan a day.
Very famous
To tell you the truth, I don't know what happened to that client's father, so I can't talk nonsense. But he told me two things in the car at the time, and I can be sure. First, many elderly people in the local area (that is, Suxian County, Anhui) do not have medical insurance, most of them have a minor illness is to endure and wait for self-healing, and if they have a serious illness, they basically choose to give up treatment; Second, the level of local hospitals is really not good, and Western medicine is not good, and traditional Chinese medicine is not good, so if they really want to see a doctor, their choice is either to go to a provincial hospital, or to go to Shanghai or Beijing, mainly depending on the condition.
Anhui
In stark contrast, there is a business called "flying surgery": when a patient is unable to travel long distances due to illness, he can choose to spend money to invite a famous doctor from a first-tier city to a small city in the third or fourth tier for surgery, of course, a famous doctor cannot come alone, and needs to lead a whole team, including anesthesia, deputy, etc., and all of this, of course, is paid by the patient, which also includes the amazing cost of surgery.

On the other hand, in the field of public opinion, most of the people who support traditional Chinese medicine are at the bottom, is there something wrong with their cognition? The truth is that they don't have a choice! For example, organ transplantation, which often costs hundreds of thousands of yuan for surgery, and also needs to find a matching source of organs, ordinary people basically can't go through the whole process. In this case, it may also be a good choice to choose a Chinese medicine that is inexpensive but not necessarily effective, but what if there is a curative effect? What if something happens to you? What if I'm the chosen one? In case of...... Even if the transplant is successful, the effect is still not good?

However, technology is developing, and when the boundary between modern medicine and human body transformation becomes more and more blurred, the crushing of Western medicine over Chinese medicine will become more and more obvious. Especially when the expensive price can bring all kinds of incredible curative effects, such as Musk's brain computer, I can't find anything comparable to it when I look through the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", at this time, how many people will believe that Chinese medicine is the tip of human wisdom? I don't believe it anyway! But there must still be people who believe it, because they can only believe in what they can get, and in this regard, in line with the point I expressed above, they are not stupid, they just have no choice!
Brain-computer
Because of this, Chinese medicine may only belong to a topic that can be discussed for me, but for some people who can only hope by believing in Chinese medicine, there is no room for questioning at all. Why? Because that's all he's about. The same thing happened with another object: the moped! Actually, I don't know what this thing should be called, electric bikes? Electric car? Moped? Anyway, it's the two-wheeled car that isn't a motorcycle. When I seriously discuss whether this kind of car is qualified for the road, I actually ignore the fact that it is a production tool for some people! What is something or rules that can be discussed for me cannot be discussed at all for them, and discussing is ruining their jobs.
Difficult to discuss
Writing this, I still take the lead in making a guarantee: in the future, I will say less if it is not conducive to traditional Chinese medicine and mopeds, but at the same time, I reserve the right to continue to use Western medicine for medical treatment and not to drive mopeds on the road! I'm sorry, I didn't do what I looked like, but it's not a big problem, after all, there aren't many people around us......
