Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Hi Manu and all, I just read what I could of the articles on this " new " unified medicine. I must first state I have not read the text and it this stage and I see no reason to spend $200 on it from what I have read. From the rough outlines of this integrated medicine it is simply the everyday practice of TCM in a modern Chinese TCM hospital, or at least the one I worked in. Modren TCM education in China produces doctors who practice both WM and TCM side by side. WM and TCM have been integrated this way for years, I see nothing new here but a entrepreneurial Chinese doctor promoting his business in the West. To Ze'v and other experienced educators on this list...... How many years do you think is minimum to enter practice as a TCM practitioner? What do you think about the proposed 1 year " diploma " to allow WM doctors to practice TCM? It scares the hell out of me. If anything could kill off TCM in the West, it would be poorly educated WM doctors practising parts of it under our public health care systems. Manu, do you know if this doctor is actually qualified to practice WM in New Zealand or Australia? Medical degrees (including masters and PhD's in integrated medicine) given in China hold no weight in the West. Is this doctor a qualified and registered WM practitioner in New Zealand?
