On weekends, the city hospital's traditional Chinese medicine outpatient department is particularly crowded, especially with old patients who come upon hearing the news.
It's different from the symptom-treating approach of Western medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine, though paused for a few years, is still favored by the older generations, especially the elderly doctor who looks ageless and his young apprentice who seems to have stepped out of a painting.
— That acupuncture technique, paired with a few doses of traditional Chinese medicine, truly cures the disease effectively.
Unfortunately, the master and apprentice only consult for one day a week, and occasionally they put up a sign saying they had an emergency, pausing for half a day.
According to insiders, it's because some patients need urgent surgery that requires the assistance of this duo, while others say that officials request their presence at the inpatient department.
