Why are there fewer and fewer Chinese medicine practitioners and more and more western medicine practitioners in our country?

First, because the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine is too slow; Second, there are too many quacks in society to be trusted; Third, western medicine can earn higher profits and maintain the survival of doctors; Fourth, some diseases are incurable.

First of all, talk about the curative effect. In many remote areas, people only choose treatment when there are emergency symptoms. For the treatment of emergency, Chinese medicine often can't achieve immediate results. The treatment time of Chinese medicine is too long, and many young people are unwilling to spend a certain time cooking Chinese medicine every day. And Chinese medicine is bitter and astringent, not as simple as western medicine pills. For example, if you have a fever, for western medicine, it may take an injection to take effect, but Chinese medicine needs to adjust from your essence, and it may take several days to reduce the fever. Modern people prefer symptomatic treatment to radical treatment.

The medical level of traditional Chinese medicine in the market is uneven, because traditional Chinese medicine is a kind of medicine that can't be drunk, which leads many people to take advantage of this loophole and publicize some useless practices and counterfeit drugs. Slowly, people found that taking this medicine could not cure the disease, so they simply believed in western medicine and did not believe in Chinese medicine. However, in recent years, the sales of traditional Chinese medicine preparations and tablets have also increased. Take Chinese medicine to reduce fever. Because western medicine is too effective, it will do harm to human body. We can use some traditional Chinese medicine to treat low fever.

Western medicine is widely used in hospitals, and every operation and treatment will cost a lot of money. At best, Chinese medicine has only cupping, acupuncture, decoction and other methods, and some Chinese herbal medicines are not very expensive, so the profits that Chinese medicine can harvest are too small. Except for some famous Chinese medicine practitioners, young Chinese medicine practitioners hardly earn any money and are not trusted, so more and more young people will not consider Chinese medicine when studying medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine has certain limitations, and some diseases are urgent enough to require immediate surgical resection. Drinking Chinese medicine at this time is ineffective. However, Chinese medicine is the traditional culture of our country, and our attitude towards Chinese medicine should be to actively carry forward the advantages of Chinese medicine, instead of blindly thinking that western medicine is good, and the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine is the prospect of medical development in China.
