Reflection: Would you like to be one? Why? Why not? I honestly would like to be one, because there is much under Chinese medicine, that many do not know of. Many drug-free ways of getting rid of your worst pains or illnesses through acupuncture, acupressure, herbal remedies, etc. I also like the fact that eastern medicine doctors tend to treat patients as a whole, rather than focus on only one specific illness.
