When we see a study from China where 2000 patients were treated for, for example, sciatica, I've assumed that the data was generated after the fact, not that 2000 patients were found and then the study was done. Studies like this can be generated as part of someone's Ph.D. or Masters degree.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Hi Doug, Yes I understand what you’re saying. In this instance we specifically asked the TCM diagnosis and were told hypertension. The doctor is well aware that we learn TCM only as all western medicine; tests, etc are excluded from our education, which is rather annoying. I think in this case, it was more to do with the doctor’s western training and perspective rather than the need to categorise patient records. <res19zl9 wrote: > One advantage and reason for doing this allopathic differentiation is that someone in the future can look at patients records and make a study.
