Two medical students who came from
Grenoble, France, are doing their clerkship in our department for this August.
It's very interesting for us to exchange the information about our medical
systems in our own countries. These medical students hardly learned anything
about traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Nevertheless, they choose to come to
Chinese Medicine Department in TSGH to see how we practice TCM. It is a good
chance to introduce TCM to them, I feel very excited.
I recalled 6 years ago, when I was doing my
internship in the Chinese medicine department in TSGH, a medical student came
from Austria. I typed with my laptop to translate in English instantly about
what the doctor and patients were talking about to make her realize how a TCM
doctor take patient's history. I still feel very excited of doing so.
Besides, thanks to Forumosa.com, I met in
person with a California acupuncturist last week. It's very nice of him to
share his experience of learning and practicing TCM with me and I also benefit
a lot from the information about the current situation of acupuncture in U.S.
I’m truly grateful for his reaching out and I welcome anyone who is interested
in TCM (or integrated medicine) or having any question about TCM to meet in
person.
