Everyone understands that Chinese medicine is best at preventing diseases.
But most of the time, Chinese medicine doesn't even get a chance to be the first to contact patients.
Moreover, even if a small ailment is cured, the money earned is quite negligible; for individual clinics it's fine, but if it's a hospital, the operating costs make it impossible for Chinese medicine to adopt this form of treatment.
Therefore, it forces Chinese medicine practitioners to be able to treat some difficult, complicated, and even critical illnesses.
However, throughout the country, there are too few Chinese medicine practitioners capable of treating these diseases, and even if a few hundred more years are given to Chinese medicine, it's unlikely to develop to a scale that can serve 1.4 billion people.
