So people can understand everyone can have a choice as you said. More importantly to have a wise choice.
You just gave an example of combining the two, or to use other technology to help in getting a better outcome when practice Chinese medicine.
Considering the fact the majority of the Chinese people in China are not aware of the medical practice in the western, obviously, they can not much discussion or comparison.
For the record, I am not saying in the US, everyone or every doctor can pick whichever treatment he/she think is the best. Cost will be an important factor just as in any other places. In the US, the insurance company will dictate the treatment process.
