Can't afford treatment at a big hospital, but you can't just do nothing and wait to die at home, can you?
At this point, getting some medicine from a clinic doctor is much better than not taking any medicine at all.
Most terminal patients, after abandoning treatment at big hospitals, like to place their hope in traditional Chinese medicine.
No comment on that.
Sometimes traditional Chinese medicine can indeed perform medical miracles, allowing some patients who were given a death sentence by hospitals to survive, or even fully recover.
But the rate is very low, akin to winning the lottery.
In almost all big hospitals, including those integrating Chinese and Western medicine, doctors generally regard the role of Chinese medicine as very limited.
When they encounter difficult patients or terminal patients that cannot be cured, doctors will sometimes advise them to see a traditional Chinese doctor.
