Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Richard, No problem, people here have already called me Goat. I am also calling them tiger, ox, rat . Why, it is way to promote harmony culture. i understand that to give up dr title was not good thing. I have fought for Dr for chinese medicine since I started chinese medicine since 8 years ago. you can see my company name:Dr & HERBs is the protecting way. After I took this, many people have followed us. In the UK, many chinese medicine clinics took the same idea, such as DrChina,DrBejing,Dr & Nature ... And they are now all becoming the big clinical chains in the hight street and shopping mall. Is that eveidence that we should fight for? No, I do not think so. Look, a British GP, his name Dr. Shiperman(?) killed his 215 patient and he said he was curing his patients. Now he has sucided in presion two weeks ago and... What is different, calling him Mr. Shiperman or Dr. Shiperman if he is a murder. Vice versa, if my patients treat me as healer, i do not care what they call. Is that harmony? In order not to lead people think we are conventional medicine, it might be good idea not to use Dr and give new name. No we are using CMC: chinese medicine consultant to replace cmd.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 John All of this is very nice but 'consultant' means to the public much-less than the generally accepted meaning of 'doctor/physician'. Look-up the dictionary definitions of 'doctor' and 'physician' and realize that allopaths do NOT own any property rights to those title designations. Plus realize the definition found therein which just might astonish some. Nothing should be confusing to the public regarding the usage of say OMD or CMD. Some practitioners when asked by new patients if they are an MD.....generally respond with a resounding NO......with an explanation that it is the farthest thing from their mind/intent. CMDs should not have to bow to the suppressive desires of the allopathic narrow paradigm just because there might be some practitioners who would abuse the title thereby causing some public to be confused. And why would any practitioner want to confuse the public into believing they are MDs? Too many patients coming to see CMDs are running away from the MDs due to the failures of their suppressive medicine. It is no different than in Rhode Island, USA....where MDs who claim to administer acupuncture MUST tell their patients how little education they have (300 hrs) compared to the standards of well trained acupuncturists (several thousand hours). The same logic can be applied. CMD (Chinese Medical Doctors) or OMD (Oriental Medical Doctors) should (and most of us do) advise their patients of our education compared to the MDs and that we are NOT allopathic medical doctors. Another option is that ALL MDs/DOs should call themselves 'orthodox allopathic suppression consultants' and OMD/CMDs should call themselves 'traditional oriental wholistic consultants'. Then we will have a level playing field and harmony.
