Are physicians able to help a patient who insisted on using some traditional chinese medical treatments?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many ways: Keep an open mind. Don't force the patient to chose between standard and traditional medicine. Ensure that there are no drug- drug interactions between herbs or other substances prescribed by tcm providers & western med providers. Ensure that you know all tcm meds that patient is taking. Collaborate with providers. See where tcm and standard medicine can complement each other. Educate
